What role did the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers play in the development of civilization?

The Tigris and Euphrates flooded nearby land and deposited nutrient-rich soil, which helped crops grow. People also used canals and other irrigation methods to bring river water to their fields, producing food surpluses that supported larger settlements. The rivers did not mean farmers could avoid irrigation, so choice C is incorrect.
