Answer 1

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

Explanation: The Olmec lived in lowland, riverine environments and used waterways for irrigation, transportation, and trade. The other choices are inaccurate (rubber came from forest trees, not volcanic areas; they had no draft animals for long-distance travel; they practiced agriculture rather than relying on wild jungle abundance).
