Answer:

The separation of powers is a political principle in some forms of government, in which the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the State are exercised by different government bodies, independent of each other. This is the fundamental quality that characterizes democracy.

Montesquieu argued that "every man who has power is inclined to abuse it; He goes until he finds limits. In order that power can not be abused, it is necessary for the disposition of things to detain power". In this way, the vigilance of the three powers among themselves is entrusted, since each one of them supervises, controls and stops the excesses of the others to prevent, by own ambition, that one of them predominates over the others. It can be contrasted with the merger of powers and separation of functions in parliamentary systems, where the executive and the legislature are unified, because the legislature appoints the executive.  

This doctrine does not refer only to the separation and balance of the three classic powers of the Government, but to the need to divide the political power where it is located, be it in the municipal, regional or national sphere, in order to guarantee political freedom and avoid abuses of power, through the surveillance and reciprocal control of separate powers.

B. A farmer digs an irrigation ditch to direct river water toward a desert in hopes of transforming it into farmland.

C. A father spends a majority of his time hunting for large game while his wife tends to a small personal garden.

D. A family lives near a wooded area in order to live in harmony with nature and prevent others from exploiting it.

<u>Correct Option:</u>

"A farmer digs an irrigation ditch to direct river water toward a desert in hopes of transforming it into farmland" descriptions of environmental adaptation strategies is most similar to those practiced by the early Anasazi people.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Anasazi represents the ancient external. Similarly as other cultures throughout the agricultural period, in areas with low rainfall, the Anasazi engaged a large number of techniques to develop great yield crops. Kivas, the great stone reservoirs, was utilized by the Anasazi to preserve domestic and farming water.

Check dams and stone terraces have been used to avoid erosion and permit good agriculture with minimal irrigation or rainfall. Their baskets and ceramics are widely valued by collectors, and are still being generated for exchange by their offspring. However, it's their cliff dwellings that fascinate modern archaeologists, historians, and visitors.
