The correct option is A extensive
Mesolithic Age was a ancient cultural stage that existed between the Paleolithic Period with its chipped stone tools, and the Neolithic Period with its polished stone tools. The Mesolithic hunter was able to exploit a wider range of animal and vegetable food sources as compared to Palaeolithic one. It was also the final period of hunter-gatherer cultures in Europe.
