Answer
A
the amount of rainfall received during the growing season
B
the annual flood levels of the Nile River
C
the quality of the seeds obtained through trade
D
the amount of civil unrest that occurred in the region

Explanation

Ancient Egypt depended on the Nile’s yearly flooding to bring water and fertile silt to farmland in an otherwise arid region. The size of the annual flood strongly affected how much land could be irrigated and how productive the harvest would be. Therefore, the best answer is “the annual flood levels of the Nile River.”
