Correct answer: The first statement.
The Huang He (Yellow River) deposited fertile loess that produced food surpluses and supported population growth, settled villages, and the rise of complex society. The other statements are incorrect or misleading: its flooding was often unpredictable and destructive (not a dependable irrigation source), loess is wind-blown fertile soil (not a traded commodity “at the bottom” of the river), and the river basin supported wide settlement rather than forcing people into a tiny area.
