The correct answer is **fertile land, irrigation, and transportation**.
Rivers provided fertile land through their floodplains, which were ideal for agriculture. They also facilitated irrigation systems, allowing early civilizations to channel water to their crops. Additionally, rivers served as important transportation routes for trade and communication.
