The correct answer is C) The physicians were required to abide by laws/rules that governed the practice of medicine.
In Mesopotamia, society treated a medical practice similarly to how we do today. The statement that provides the best evidence to support this idea is "The physicians were required to abide by laws/rules that governed the practice of medicine."
In ancient Mesopotamia, Medicine was serious business. Medicine men had to abide by the rules. They started to cure a patient by diagnosing the cause of the illness, that most of the time was associated with sin. So medicine men asked for the intervention of the gods to help the patient recover its health. Then, the doctors gave the proper medicine and ask the patient to follow instructions and ask for the forgiveness of the gods.
