    Correct Answer
    A. Desert
    Explanation
    Egypt is made mostly of desert. This is because a large portion of Egypt's land area is covered by the Sahara Desert. The desert landscape dominates the country, with only a small percentage of the land being suitable for agriculture or habitation. The arid climate and lack of rainfall contribute to the desertification of the region. The Nile River, which runs through Egypt, provides a vital source of water and supports agricultural activities in an otherwise barren desert environment.

    Egypt is often referred to as "the gift of the Nile" because the Nile River played a crucial role in the development and prosperity of ancient Egyptian civilization. The Nile provided fertile soil for agriculture, which allowed the Egyptians to cultivate crops and sustain a large population. It also served as a transportation route for trade and communication. The annual flooding of the Nile brought nutrients and water to the land, making it suitable for farming. Therefore, the Nile River was considered a precious gift that sustained and shaped the civilization of Egypt.

    Explanation
    The dam caused pollution as it disrupted the natural flow of the river and led to the accumulation of pollutants in the water. Additionally, the dam caused an increase in trash on the banks as it trapped debris and prevented it from flowing downstream. Moreover, the dam resulted in an excessive amount of salt in the soil due to the reduced water flow, leading to soil degradation and decreased agricultural productivity.
