Answer 1

To accurately list the key features of the Olmec, Zapotec, and Chavin civilizations, we should consider their religious beliefs, cultural practices, and the types of artifacts they produced.

1. **Olmec Civilization**: Known for their colossal heads and a belief system that revolves around jaguar motifs and human figures with possible shamanistic associations. They are often viewed as the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica.

2. **Zapotec Civilization**: They had complex cosmology with religious practices that included rituals and possibly state-level governance. Their artifacts often depicted human figures and were associated with the natural features of their environment.

3. **Chavin Civilization**: Associated with a strong cosmo-magical belief system, the Chavin culture is characterized by intricate stone carvings and motifs of animals, particularly those depicting human-animal hybrid forms.

Based on this understanding, the most fitting option from those listed would likely be **cosmo-magical belief system centered on worshipping mythical creatures, and artifacts with human, avion, and feline features**, which reflects the synthesized religious practices and representative artifacts across these civilizations.
