Why were aqueducts important to the Aztec civilization?

Answer
A
They served as artificial islands for planting crops.
B
They provided fresh water used in agriculture.
C
They were used to create steps in the land for farming.
D
They served as waterways to travel between farms.

Explanation

Aqueducts carried fresh water from springs to the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan. That water supported the city and could also be used for agriculture, so the best answer is “They provided fresh water used in agriculture.” Artificial islands and stepped farmland were created by different methods, not by aqueducts.
