Solution

The correct options are
B Hunting
C Foraging
We call them hunter-gatherers because they used to hunt animals and also used to gather resources from the forest for food and shelter. Foraging means gathering resources from forests and even small animals and insects. They were apex predators and not scavengers. Scavengers are those species that eat dead animals and do not hunt for their food.
