    Ball courts in Mayan ruins represent evidence that the Maya were influenced by the Olmec civilization that preceded them. Option B is correct.

    The Olmec were the first major civilization in Mexico which lasted from about 1600 BCE to around 350 BCE, when environmental factors made their villages unlivable. They lived along the Gulf Coast of Mexico.

    The Maya civilization constituted a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya peoples.

    Ball courts in Mayan ruins

    Explanation:

    The Olmec civilization flourished in the pre-classical period (2000B. C. to 200 B. C), while the Mayans did it in the classical period (200 B. C. to 800A. D.). Though there were exchanges an influences, it is unlikely that both civilizations had a constant commercial exchange.

    Religious and ceremonial elements, like the ball game, are present in both cultures.
