The ancient empire that emerged from Mesopotamia after the Akkadian Empire is the Assyrian Empire (c).

The other options are not correct in this context:

  • The Roman Empire was established later in the Mediterranean region.
  • The Persian Empire arose in the broader region of Persia (modern-day Iran) and is a separate entity from Mesopotamian empires.
  • The Ottoman Empire was founded much later and in a different geographic context.

Therefore, the answer is c. Assyrian Empire.
