The correct answer is D.

After the Neolithic revolution, human communities became sedentary due to the start of agriculture and animal husbandry activities. New tools were developed, and the abovementioned activities kept on progressively becoming more efficient. Not everybody had to work on agriculture anymore and there was a progressive specialization and division of labor. Some people were artisans who manufactured tools, others continued working on the fields, others worked with the animals, etc.

Production surpluses started to be traded with neighbouring communities. This is how each tribe started to specialize on different activities. There could be a whole tribe of craftspeople, another one where everybody worked in agriculture, etc. In the case that a tribe did not produce food by itself, but had the ability to trade for food with another, it was not necessary that any of its members worked on agriculture.
