Are you sure the question is written correctly? O.o

Okay, well, out of all of the confusing answer choices, B makes the most amount of sense to me. This is because being near a river makes the soil fertile giving them things to trade, and the fact that it's by a sea means it'll be a port city. A sea allows a bunch of people to come in by ship.
