Answer:c

1 - The correct answer is C. Wheat was a good brought from the Old World to the New World.

2 - The correct answer is C. Corn was a good brought from the New World to the Old World.

3 - The correct answer is A. It is not correct that Inca and Aztec peoples grew bigger and stronger due to the introduction of oats.

Explanation:

1 - Wheat originated in the "Fertile Crescent" in the Mediterranean and Western Asia, but is now grown worldwide. Globally, wheat is the leading source of protein from vegetables in human food, and has higher protein content than both corn and rice, the other major cereals. Wheat is used to a greater extent than corn for food, since much of the corn is used as animal feed.

2 - Corn is a crop originally from the American continent. It is a tall grass, which today is one of the most important crops worldwide. Corn usually grows to more than 2.5 meters, but conditions affecting length and some varieties grow up to 7 meters high.

3 - The arrival of the Europeans to America did not empower the aboriginal tribes and nations, but instead, the arrival of colonial powers willing to take the resources of these territories caused wars of conquest, which eventually annihilated many of these populations.
