Answer:
The correct answer is C. The Inca built cities and fortresses on the highlands and steep slopes of the Andes Mountains.
Explanation:
The Inca civilization was the last of the great pre-Columbian civilizations that retained its independent state (Inca Empire) during the conquest of America, until 1532 or 1533. With the extension of the empire, it was absorbing new cultural expressions of the incorporated peoples, and it was located in the current territories of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Colombia, in the Andes Mountain Range.
From the sacred city of Cusco, the Inca consolidated a State that managed to synthesize the artistic, scientific and technological knowledge of their predecessors. Based on a concept of state expansion, the Tahuantinsuyo (Inca Empire) collected that knowledge and empowered it. At present, some customs and traditions of the disappeared Inca civilization still prevail in the countries that were part of the Inca Empire.
