Solution

The correct option is D Hunter-gatherers
Hunter-gatherer is the name we use to describe the earliest people as their primary source of food was the meat of the animals that they hunted and the food they gathered from trees, bushes and the ground. They used to move to a new location once they finished eating the food in a particular place.
