Solution

The correct option is A Mesolithic Age
Beginning of farming and herding occur during the Mesolithic Period i.e. roughly from about 12000 years ago. There were changes in climatic conditions. There was adequate rainfall with better tools and harmonized climate conditions for farming. People no longer depended on hunting, fishing, and gathering. Agriculture and animal husbandry took care of their food.
