Answer 1

Hint: The one who moves place to another or continues shifting, are those who don't have a home of their own or any permanent residence.

Complete answer:
Nomads are the people who keep moving from place to place. They are the people with no settled home, they move to obtain food or make a living, finding pasture for livestocks. Nomade means people without permanent or fixed habitation. They mostly follow a fixed annual or seasonal pattern for movements or settlements. Traditionally they travel through canoe or animal or by foot. Such groups include Pastoral nomads, who own livestocks, Hunter-gatherers, tinkers or traders.

The lifestyle of nomads is called Nomadism. This kind of lifestyle is also adapted in infertile regions like snow, sand, tundra or steppe where moving is the most efficient strategy for exploiting scarce resources.

There are several communities of nomads who shift for their own reasons. Like Pastoral nomads moving for livestock pastures, Aboriginal Australians or Sans of Africa who move to gather and hunt wild plants, Herders move to avoid enemies, craftworkers and merchants travel to find and serve customers. For example, Mongolian Nomads, a family you may call them, move twice a year generally during summers and winters. Most nomads usually move in the same region and don't go very far to somewhere totally new. Since they usually circle around a large area, communities form families and know where the other ones are.
The very first nomadic pastoral society developed in the period from 8,500–6,500 BCE in southern Leva.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
