Answer 1

Hint: For their sustenance, the earliest human beings depended on their immediate environment. People living in extremely harsh weather conditions survived on hunting and gathering.

Complete answer:The people who lived in ancient times subsisted on edible plants which they gathered from forests in the vicinity and on animals which they hunted. Primitive tools made of stones, twigs, or arrows were used by the early hunters and this limited the number of animals killed by them. Hunting and Gathering are the oldest form of economic activity known. The people in the coastal areas still catch fish though fishing has experienced modernization due to technological advancements. Many species have become extinct today due to illegal hunting (poaching). Tundra is a type of biome where because of low temperatures and short growing seasons the tree growth is hindered. The vegetation here is composed of sedges and grasses, mosses, lichens, and dwarf shrubs. Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, and Antarctic tundra are three regions and associated types of tundra. $10{\text{ - }}20^\circ {\text{F}}$ is the average temperature. There are many groups of people who reside in these regions; Eskimos are the largest group of people among them. The main occupation of the people living in these areas is Hunting and fishing. Caribou and musk ox are a few animals they hunt.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: In modern times some gathering is market-oriented and has become commercial. Valuable plants such as leaves, barks of trees, and medicinal plants are collected by these gatherers, and after simple processing; they sell these products in the market.
