Explanation

The Mayas, Incas, Aztecas, and Olmecs were all pre-Columbian civilizations. The Mayas resided in the current territory of Mesoamerica, including Mexico especially in the Yucatan Peninsula (referenced on the map with the letter A). This culture was known for its architectural legacy at a much deeper level, also for its advances in language and writing, astronomy and science.

On the other hand, the Incas inhabited from the eleventh to the fifteenth century in the western part of South America, from present-day Ecuador to Chile and northern Argentina (referenced on the map with the letter B). They were known for the strength and supremacy of the warrior that led them to constitute a great empire.

In the case of the Olmecs, they lived in the region of the current Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco (on the map referenced with the letter C) during the so-called Mesoamerican pre-classic period, about 1,200 to 400 B.C. There are vestiges of Olmec ceremonial centers known as Tres Zapotes, La Venta and San Lorenzo.

Finally, the Aztecs existed throughout the Late Postclassic period (the final stage of development of the natives before the arrival of the Spaniards) in the territory of present-day Mexico, specifically the central states of Mexico (outlined in the map with the letter D) as Queretaro, Mexico, Oaxaca, Puebla among others. In it, three government sites were Mexico-Tenochtitlan, Tlacopan, and Texcoco. So, the correct answer B. A) Mayan, B) Inca, C) Olmec, D) Aztec.
