Answer:

The correct answer is A) Village Farmers

Step-by-step explanation:

When Europeans first had a contact with American Indians living in Georgia, they found a thriving civilization comprised of village farmers.

The Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto was the first person to lead an expedition deep into Georgia and found a tribe called the Mississippians.

They had complete urban centers with surrounding villages and trading links between different areas.

Their most important agriculture product was maize farming and they had a completely societal structure in place.

Gradually, due to exposure with European diseases such as smallpox, thousands of people died. Eventually resulting in the end of these tribes.
