Answer: C. He spread civilization beyond Mesopotamia.
Sargon of Akkad was the first ruler of the Akkadian empire. He is thought to have conquered several Sumerian city-states, expanding his empire to include most of Mesopotamia, parts of the Levant and leading some incursions into Hurrite and Elamite territory. In this way, he was able to spread civilization beyond Mesopotamia. He ruled his empire from the capital city of Akkad.
