Answer 1

The riverways allowed irrigation for fields and travel to other regions to obtain resources.

Reason: The Olmecs used rivers for transportation and access to resources and practiced agriculture (irrigation and wetland cultivation). They did not have pack animals for long-distance travel, the jungle did not supply all food without cultivation, and rubber came from trees rather than volcanic regions.
