    The correct answer is A) coastal access to the Arabian Sea.

    Besides the closeness to the Indus River, the other geographical feature that might have influenced the choice to settle in this region was the coastal access to the Arabian Sea.

    In the history of mankind, there are ancient civilizations that archeologists considered were the first to settle in one place after they stopped being nomads. The oldest one, the Sumerians who settle in between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the region of Iraq in the Middle East. After them, the Egyptians and the Indus Valley civilizations.

    Historians think that the Indus Valley Civilization settled in the Indus River banks, approximately 5000 years ago. It is one of the most mysterious civilizations because archeologists have not been able to translate the hieroglyphs of the Indus people. That is why there are too few things known about them.
