Question

What does the fact that the Chavin and the Nazca both used underground aqueducts to transport water demonstrate about the relationship between these two groups.
a) The Nazca and the Chavin both used water for certain religious rituals.
b) The Nazca and the Chavin both adopted technology from the Maya.
c) The technology of the Chavin likely influenced the later Nazca.
d) The technology of the Nazca likely influenced the later Chavin.

Answer 1

The best option from the list would be that "c) The technology of the Chavin likely influenced the later Nazca," since the Chavin came before the Nazca. 

Answer 2

The Chavin culture was an Andean culture that flourished in the actual Peru around 900 BC and 200 BC. The construction of underground aqueducts to transport water and the development of their agricultural techniques were passed to the Nazca culture that lived from 100 BC until 800 AD. The Nazca culture improved the underground aqueducts and called them puquios, and they also adapted them to new environments. Thus the right answer is option c, the technology of the Chavin likely influenced the later Nazca.
