The correct answer is: d) Crossed into the Florida Panhandle and Central Texas

Routes that most people agree on for migration

Traditional Native American stories and academic studies both agree that the first Americans came to the continent in different ways, but most don't believe they came through Florida or Central Texas.

These are the routes that most people agree on for migration:

Migrated across the Bering Strait: Many people believe this theory. It says that the people who came before Native Americans came from Asia and traveled to America by walking across a bridge that used to be there. This bridge connected what is now Russia and the United States.

Early people in the Americas possibly used boats to go from Asia and stayed along the Pacific coast.

Another idea says people traveled through a place called the Beringian tundra. This path involves traveling along the top edge of the ice sheets in Beringia, going through interior Alaska, Yukon, and eventually reaching other areas of North and South America.
