A. They were located in places with temperate climates good for settlement.

Explanation:

  • The Songhai Empire was an empire that was centered in the western Sahel during the 15th and 16th centuries. The empire was one of the largest states in African history, and their system of succession to the throne was a lateral one.
  • The Incas are well-known for their innovations in agriculture. This is one of the factors that allowed the Incas to have such a big empire in an area that was not ideal for farming (the Andes). On the other hand, the Aztecs were advanced in their transportation systems. The empire covered a huge territory with many cities, and a lot of it was located in the water. Therefore, the movement of information, goods and people was one of their priorities.
  • Many city-states in Eastern and Western Africa shared trading as the foundation for their success. This was often due to the fact that the settlements were located in areas that had temperate weather, ideal for settlement and agriculture.
