The correct option is B) Horticultural society

Explanation:

Horticulture can be described as the are of growing plants usually to obtain food or for decoration purposes. The growing of flowers, fruits and vegetables comes under horticulture.

As the scenario in the question describes that the Yanomamo cultivated small gardens for food we can infer that the society of Yanomamo is a horticulture society where the Yanomamo even cut down trees so that they can expand their gardens.
