maize

jade

squash

which of the following accurately summarizes how the olmec empire ruled and interacted with its environment? (1 point)

the jungle provided an abundant amount of food without needing to cultivate the land.

the riverways allowed irrigation for fields and travel to other regions to obtain resources.

the olmec empire used indigenous animals to travel far distances and trade.

the volcanic regions provided rubber and stone to build structures and temples.

Explanation:

First Question:

The Chavín civilization (ancient Andean) grew potatoes, which are adapted to high - altitude environments. Maize is more of a low - to - mid - altitude crop in the region, jade is not a crop, and squash is also not typically associated with high - altitude Chavín cultivation.

The Olmec Empire was located in areas with river systems. Riverways were used for irrigation of their agricultural fields (like for growing maize) and also for travel to trade or obtain resources from other regions. The jungle does require cultivation (they did practice agriculture), they didn't have animals suitable for long - distance travel like horses (not indigenous), and volcanic regions aren't the main source for rubber and temple - building stone in the Olmec context.

Answer:

A. potatoes
