Answer 1

The correct answer is:

c Mesopotamia, because that's one of the places where agriculture first emerged.

Cultural hearths are regions where early human societies developed and from which ideas, technologies, and cultural practices spread to other areas. Mesopotamia is often cited as one of the key cultural hearths due to its role in the development of agriculture, writing, and early urbanization.
