1- The correct answer is D. The Fertile Crescent includes the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

2- The correct answer is C. Phoenicia most relied on seaborne trade routes.

Explanation:

1- The Fertile Crescent is a region comprising the present nations of Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon and Cyprus, as well as parts of Syria, Iraq, Egypt, southeastern Turkey and southwestern Iran.

Irrigated by the Jordan, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Nile, the region covers an area of about 400 000 km2 to 500 000 km² and is populated by 40 to 50 million individuals. It extends from the Nile floodplains, continuing along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, around the northern Syrian desert and across the Arabian Peninsula and Mesopotamia, to the Persian Gulf.

2- The Phoenicians were the great merchants of antiquity. The geography of its coasts, which led to the installation of ports, and the wood of its forests provided them with the basic elements to build ships and organize navigation companies. One of them was hired by the Persian king Darius I in the 5th century BC. To some extent they managed to establish a thalasocracy or "government of the seas" that allowed them to control the Mediterranean commercially.
