The correct answer is B.

The emergence of agriculture and the beginning of sedentary settlements and civilizations, constituted the start of the Neolithic period of human history. It meant the end of nomadic lifestyles in which humans could only rely on hunting, fishing and gathering for food collection.

Agriculture and sedentarism came together with specialization and division of labor. Specialization allowed to improve the instruments and tools used for each activity and productivity was rapidly enhanced. For the first time in history, men produced more than they could consume and trade started to happen.
