Explanation:

Ancient Egypt was centered around the Nile River and had pharaohs as rulers, using hieroglyphics as their writing - system. Mesopotamia was between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, had kings as rulers, and used cuneiform as their writing - system. Egypt had a more centralized religious view at times with the worship of Amun - Ra etc., while Mesopotamia had a pantheon of gods. The first option has wrong leadership titles for each region. The second option has the wrong writing - systems assigned. The third option correctly matches the rivers, writing - systems, religious aspects, and leadership. The fourth option is too simplistic and lacks important details like writing - systems.

Answer:

C. Egypt: Hieroglyphs, Had one god (at times, more complex in reality but had a dominant god concept), Pharaohs; Mesopotamia: Cuneiform, Had multiple gods, Kings
