Question

Despite differences arising from environmental variation, all foraging economies have shared one essential feature:

A. their willingness to test out new food-producing technologies to see if they are any better than what they are used to.

B. their interest in developing irrigation technologies to control sources of water.

C. their emphasis on devising new forms of organic pesticides.

D. their reliance on welfare supplied by state-level societies.

E. their reliance on available natural resources for their subsistence, rather than controlling the reproduction of plants and animals.

Answer 1

Letter E is correct. Their reliance on available natural resources for their subsistence, rather than controlling the reproduction of plants and animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of natural resources is common and essential to all foraging economies, whose fundamental principle is to produce for their own consumption. These are economies that depend on hunting, gathering or fishing to survive.

However, there is no systematization of economic processes nor the use of socio-structural variables and policies that help these subsistence economies to gain a new perspective on the control and functioning of the economy, which can help in the processes and optimization of the utilization of natural resources.
