Answer: Option A, B and D

Explanation:

1. Threat of insects and rodents that could destroy a harvest:

The insect blights and rodents were a threat to the farmers which destroyed the harvest. They stealthily ate through all the food crops causing a heavy loss.

2. Protecting land from intruders and maintaining property:

The neighbouring populations who wanted to get hold of the land encroached the other people's land. They wanted good farm land and hence conflict rose between neighbouring settlements.

3. Famines caused by unfavorable weather or other factors:

The nature often cast its spell on the poor farmers. The blistering summers and cold cruel weathers were a hurdle to agriculture. This drastic change in climates led to drought.
