The correct answer is option b.
Sargon of Akkad (circa 2350 B.C.E.) is significant because he subdued Sumer and extended his influence from Ethiopia to the Indus Valley. Sargon created what is often considered the first empire in history by conquering various city-states in the region and thus established a new level of political organization that went beyond the more localized city-states that had existed before.
