Answer 1

Hint: In the ancient times, all over the world, animals were used as the mode of transportation. During wars animals like horses, elephants and others were much in use.

Complete Answer:
Animals were used in many works in the ancient times even in the medieval ages. Even in modern age, in very few pockets of the world where the light of modernisation has not reached much yet. But in the ancient times, animals were highly exploited. Domesticated tamed as well as wild animals were normally used to transport goods, both heavy and light, from one place to another even from one country to another. Animals were trained for wars as well. Animals like horses, donkeys, elephants and others were taken to the battlefields during wars. The animals were not only responsible for goods transport, but they had to carry people from one to another as well. Pack animals that are any kind of domesticated animals were used to carry freight, goods, or supplies. Different animals as suited to the different climatic conditions were used accordingly, like camels were used in the arid regions, horses and mules were used in the highlands like that of hills or mountains, water buffalo were used in the marshy areas, reindeers were used in the snow covered areas.
The time when this primitive kind of transportation was used dates back to the 9,000BCE.
Thus, the correct answer should be option A, 9,000 BCE.

Note: Though there was extensive use, rather exploitation of animals for human needed works, with advancement of science and technology this has considerably decreased. Many laws have been made regarding the protection and security of the animals, and wild animals used for these works are now being rescued and relocated.
