Answer:

B) The people of Mesopotamia domesticated plants, where as those in Mesoamerica only domesticated animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neolithic revolution is called the first radical transformation of the way of life of humanity, which goes from being nomadic to sedentary and having a collecting economy (hunting, fishing and gathering) to producer (agriculture and livestock).

This process took place more than 9000 years ago (VIII millennium BC) in response to the climate crisis that occurred at the beginning of the Holocene, after the last glaciation and which, in terms related to the history of culture, corresponds to the passage of the Paleolithic period (carved stone) to the Neolithic (new stone) and hence its name. In the first place, it affected the wide area that, due to its appearance on the map, has received the name of fertile crescent or fertile crescent. It includes from the Egyptian part of the valley of the Nile to Mesopotamia (the territory between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), passing through the coastal strip of the Mediterranean Levante and the mountainous region of southeastern Turkey.

Something later similar changes occurred in India (Indus and Ganges rivers) and in the Far East (Huang He and Yangtze rivers in China). The expansion for the rest of the Old World (Europe, Asia and Africa) was produced by diffusion of these first foci, although in some areas the domestication of native animals or plants was discovered locally. The Neolithic revolution takes place autonomously in America, with the Mesoamerican and Andean foci.
