The first people to use language were hunter-gatherers who traveled with wild game. Option C is correct.

Hunter gatherers were prehistoric nomadic groups that capitalized on the use of fire, developed intricate knowledge of plant life and refined technology for hunting and domestic purposes as they expanded from Africa to Asia, Europe and beyond. The culture accelerated with the appearance of Homo erectus.
