City-states in Sumer had several characteristics in common. The most accurate statement from your options is **"They were centers of trade."**
While they did share some cultural elements, such as language and religion, they were not ruled by one king, as each city-state operated independently with its own ruler. Additionally, they were not all home to millions of people; Sumerian city-states varied in size and population. However, their role as centers of trade was a significant characteristic that linked them together economically.
