Answer 1

The correct option is B 2,4,3,1,5

The earliest states were family or clan-bound structures, which emerged as the result of a shift from hunter-gatherer societies to more settled agricultural societies. As families joined to form clans and clans joined to form villages, the need for leaders and a central organizational structure developed, and with time, the modern state developed.
