The correct statement is:

To determine which of the statements about Etruscan cities is true, we need to examine the map provided.
Looking at the map, we can see the Roman Empire and Etruscan settlements. The Roman Empire is depicted with a shaded square and includes the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, and a portion of present-day Italy that extends into the mainland. The Etruscan settlements are indicated by dots, with labels identifying their locations.
To answer the question, we need to assess the location of the Etruscan cities that were eventually taken over by the Romans. By examining the map, we can see the locations of various Etruscan settlements, such as Mantua, Placentia, Parma, Mutina, Felsina, Adria, Spina, Caesena, Arimnus, Velathri, Arret-Curtun, Perusna, Clevsin, Rusellae, Velzna, Pupluna, Vetluna, Velch, Tarchna, Veri, Caisra, Rome, and Capua.
Based on their locations, it is evident that the Etruscan cities were distributed throughout the Italian Peninsula, including both the eastern and western portions. Therefore, the statement "Most Etruscan cities that were eventually taken over by the Romans were located in the eastern portion of the Italian peninsula" is incorrect.
Likewise, we can observe that the Roman Empire expanded its territory to encompass not only Etruscan cities but also other lands, such as Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia. This means that the statement "The Roman civilization eventually took over all lands that were not Etruscan and expanded their territory" is also incorrect.
Lastly, upon examining the map, we can see that the Etruscan cities taken over by the Romans are not solely located near the Mediterranean. They are spread across various regions of the Italian Peninsula. Therefore, the statement "The Roman civilization only took over Etruscan cities that were near the Mediterranean" is incorrect.
The correct statement, based on the map, is that "The Roman civilization eventually took over Etruscan cities and expanded their territory." This statement aligns with the information provided and is confirmed by the map.
