Answer 1

The correct option is E An abundance of crops meant that people no longer had to depend on meat

Neolithic or the New Stone Age refers to a period when domestication of plants and animals began and there was a transition to sedentary lifestyle from the previous hunting and gathering. The Neolithic revolution happened around 10,000 BCE around the Levant area (western Asia) and then spread to Fertile Crescent (middle east) and other areas.
