Answer:
The Middle East, Northern Africa, and Asia are the three regions closest to the Fertile Crescent.
Explanation:
The Fertile Crescent is an area labeled as such because this is where the earliest agricultural societies and civilizations developed. This area was stretching from the Nile River valley in Egypt, across the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, and along the river valley of Tigris and Euphrates. The area makes a half-circular shape, and while it had different characteristics from its surroundings it can not be described as a separate region.
The regions that are closest to the Fertile Crescent, from the choices provided, are the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Asia. The majority of this area actually falls into the territory of the Middle East. The Nile River valley part of this area is part of Northern Africa. The part of the area that falls regionally into the Middle East, is also part of Asia, as it lies on the Asian continent.
