Answer 1

The correct option is A Both statements are correct. Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for statement 1.

Humans started living together in groups to tackle the challenges posed by nature. Thus, they began producing food on a large-scale. However, this resulted in the production of excess food. This surplus food was stored for future purposes. Thus, the need to settle and store surplus food resulted in permanent settlements that marked the beginning of civilisations.
