Throughout the world, peoples who rely on hunting and gathering for their food possess a rich knowledge of their habitats.

Given this fact, which statement from the excerpt is most clearly false?

A."With the rise of peoples from savagery to civilization, . . . there comes a steadily increasing growth of the amount demanded by this average man from the actual resources of the country."

B."And yet, rather curiously, at the same time that there comes that increase in what the average man demands from the resources, he is apt to grow to lose the sense of his dependence upon nature."

C.". . . with what we call civilization and the extension of knowledge, more resources come into use, industries are multiplied, and foresight begins to become a necessary and prominent factor in life."

D."Savages, and very primitive peoples generally, concern themselves only with superficial natural resources; with those which they obtain from the actual surface of the ground."

I feel like it might be A or C, but I'm not for sure.

This is debatable but I think your best bet would be D."Savages, and very primitive peoples generally, concern themselves only with superficial natural resources; with those which they obtain from the actual surface of the ground."
