The correct answer to this is A. The Assyrians were warlike people who seized lands throughout Mesopotamia.

B. is not correct cuz that's talking about the Egyptians
C. is not correct cuz the Assyrians lived in Mesopotamia, not in Africa

Answer:

The Assyrians were warlike people who seized lands throughout Mesopotamia.

Explanation:

The Assyrians were a Mesopotamian people that lived between the rivers Tygris and Euphrates in the Antiquity. They founded the city of Assur around the year 2600 BCE, which became a relevant cultural and political center of that region. In the late 24th century BCE, Assur was conquered by Sargon of Akkad and the Assyrians were integrated into the new Akkadian Empire. The Assyrians were a warlike people that for many centuries fought and conquered many of their neighbors, like the Babylonians, Chaldeans, and Persians. Around the 6th century BCE, the Assyrian Empire was defeated and conquered by the Median Empire and its capital, Nineveh, was  destroyed as a revenge for all the atrocities that (according to the Persians) were committed by the Assyrians.
