Question

it is the second longest river in china.
it has been called \chinas sorrow\ because of its frequent flooding.
it is known as the \cradle of chinese civilization\ because it was the site of many ancient settlements.
what geographic feature of asia is being described?
a the mekong river
b the ganges river
c the yangtze river
d the huang he river

Explanation:

The description mentions the second - longest river in China, a river with frequent flooding (called “China’s Sorrow”), and the cradle of Chinese civilization. The Mekong River is not the cradle of Chinese civilization. The Ganges River is in India, not China. The Yangtze River is the longest river in China. The Huang He (Yellow) River is the second - longest river in China, is prone to flooding (hence “China’s Sorrow”), and is the cradle of Chinese civilization as many ancient settlements were along it.

Answer:

D. the Huang He River
