Yaritza Underwood · Answer 1

The correct answer is C) A variety of Aboriginal cultures developed due to the diversity of the land.

Explanation:

For the primitive cultures, undoubtedly geography and climate were important factors to determine settlement and establishment of dwellings, but their stability in a certain land depended on the availability of food and the possession of the correct tools for exploiting the resources at hand; many of them settled but they developed different strategies for survival, depending on the time of the year, weather, geography, development of their culture and relationship with other groups nearby. According to their economic specialization, the primitive groups can be categorized as hunters-collectors, nomadic shepherds or itinerant nomads. Therefore, A, B and D are incorrect.
