Answer:

Opion: C- Precise knowledge about his food and clothing is available.

Step-by-step explanation:

Otzi was found in the alps mountain range of Europe in 1991 by a few mountaineers. Due to cold conditions, he did not decompose properly, and his belongings remained as it is, this caused scientists to study how people lived 5000 years ago. Upon investigation, we found about his clothing. He is wearing a hat that was made out of a brown bear, and his quiver made of deerskin. His clothes made from a mix of cow, sheep, and goat skins.

About his food or meal diet, it found that the last food he consumed was a wild goat i.e Ibex. His meal also contains evidence of wheat grain. Some wood ash and animal hair found in his stomach, which suggests that he didn't care to clean the food before eating.
