The correct answer are:
B. Many diverse city-states between two rivers.
Mesopotamian civilizations flourished between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, in what today is Iraq. Mesopotamia comes from the Greek for "land between two rivers." The most ancient civilizations came to be in this region at least six thousand years ago. Mesopotamia was divided into Assyria in the north and Babylon in the south, which in turn was divided into Akkad and Sumeria. Mesopotamia was not a single state, but a group of many city-states spread all over the region between the rivers. The most famous cities were Ur, Nippur, Lagash, among many others.
D. Stepped structures known as ziggurats.
A ziggurat is a temple of the ancient Mesopotamia that has a pyramid shape. The purpose of these structures was to get the temples closer to the sky and they were accessible through stairs. Ziggurats were considered the houses of the gods and, therefore, only priests had access to these temples. Every city of ancient Mesopotamia had a Ziggurat for their patron God.
