This area was among the first human civilizations because (1 point) 1) it was impossible to live in the surrounding mountains
2) invaders chased early humans out of other locations
3) it had fertile soil and a good water supply
4) the Ice Age did not affect low-lying deserts

The answer is 3: it had fertile soil and a good water supply

Explanation:

So first you want to mark off 1 and 2 because they are irrelevant. Then mark off 4 because it isn't very important.
