Solution
The correct option is D Cro-Magnon man Like most early humans, the Cro-Magnons were primarily big-game hunters, killing mammoth, cave bears, horses, and reindeer. They hunted with spears, javelins, and spear throwers. Archery had not yet been invented. They would have been nomadic or semi-nomadic, following the annual migration of their prey and also have eaten plant materials. Finds of spun, dyed, and knotted flax fibers among Cro-Magnon artifacts in Dzudzuana shows they made cords for hafting stone tools, weaving baskets, or sewing garments.
