Solution

The correct options are
A hunter-gatherers
B farmer-herders
Humans were wanderers who would have to move from place to place in search of food and shelter. As agriculture was developed, they no longer had to wander and most of them started settling down in one place. They practised agriculture and herded animals for a living. Hence, humans transformed from being hunter-gatherers to farmer-herders who led a settled life.
