The correct answer is:
"The riverways allowed irrigation for fields and travel to other regions to obtain resources."
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand how the Olmec Empire ruled and interacted with its environment. One way to do this is by analyzing the options given and eliminating the ones that do not accurately summarize these interactions.
The first option states that the Olmec Empire used indigenous animals for long-distance travel and trade. While trade was certainly an essential part of the Olmec society, there is no evidence to suggest that they used animals for traveling over long distances.
The second option suggests that the volcanic regions provided rubber and stone for constructing structures and temples. This is partially accurate, as the Olmec did use stone from volcanic regions for their construction. However, there is no mention of rubber, which was also an important resource for the Olmec.
The third option states that the jungle provided an abundant amount of food without the need to cultivate the land. While the jungle did offer a variety of food sources, it is not accurate to say that the Olmec did not cultivate the land. They were skilled agriculturalists and practiced both farming and fishing.
The final option mentions that the riverways were used for irrigation of fields and travel to other regions for acquiring resources. This option accurately captures the Olmec's use of waterways to support agriculture through irrigation and their access to other regions for trade and resource acquisition.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "The riverways allowed irrigation for fields and travel to other regions to obtain resources."
