Answer 1

The correct response is: The Mesopotamians used a series of crisscrossing channels.

Mesopotamians primarily developed an extensive system of canals and irrigation channels to manage the water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which allowed them to effectively distribute water to their crops across the arid land. This system contrasted with the basin irrigation practiced by the Egyptians, which relied on creating basins to capture and retain the seasonal floodwaters from the Nile.
