The statement that identifies the shared economic characteristics of the river valley civilizations is C: The river valley civilizations had similar geography, trade, and goods across regions.
To identify the correct answer, we need to carefully analyze each option.
A. The statement mentions sailboat travel, pastoral groups, and international trade. However, this option is incorrect because not all river valley civilizations used sailboat travel, and not all had international trade.
B. This statement mentions interregional trade, pastoral groups, and isolated territories. While some river valley civilizations had isolated territories, this option is incorrect because not all river valley civilizations had interregional trade.
C. This statement states that the river valley civilizations had similar geography, trade, and goods across regions. This option seems to align with the shared economic characteristics of the river valley civilizations, as they did have similar geography due to their proximity to rivers, engaged in trade, and exchanged goods across regions.
D. This statement suggests that the river valley civilizations traded on the Silk Road, which is incorrect. The Silk Road was a trade route developed much later in history and was not used by the river valley civilizations.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: The river valley civilizations had similar geography, trade, and goods across regions.
