Cultural exchange significantly affected ancient civilizations in various ways, among which the most relevant option is:
**b. Ancient civilizations became more diverse.**
Cultural exchange facilitated the sharing of ideas, beliefs, technologies, art, and customs between different groups. This interaction often led to the blending of cultures, making civilizations more diverse in terms of language, religion, and artistic expression. While the other options touch on important aspects of ancient civilizations, they are less directly connected to the concept of cultural exchange.
For example, while options a and c could be outcomes of a thriving civilization benefitting from cultural exchange, they do not directly reflect the impact of cultural exchange itself. Option d mentions scarcity, which is not a beneficial outcome of cultural exchanges.
