Eastern bank of Euphrates River

B.

Western bank of Euphrates River

C.

Western bank of Tigris River

D.

Eastern bank of Tigris River

Correct option is D

Nineveh, a major city of ancient Assyria and the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, is located on the Eastern bank of the Tigris River.

Nineveh's Location
River: The city is situated on the Tigris River, which is the eastern of the two great rivers defining Mesopotamia (the land "between the rivers," Tigris and Euphrates).
Bank: Nineveh lies on the eastern bank of the Tigris.
Modern Day: The ruins of ancient Nineveh are located across the river from the modern city of Mosul, in northern Iraq.

This location on the Tigris and at the intersection of major trade routes contributed greatly to Nineveh's wealth and status as a great ancient metropolis.
