b) Mississippian Culture
c) Paleo Culture
d) Woodland Culture

Answer 1

The Mississippian Culture, known for its advanced agriculture and complex urban settlements, was the most "complex" prehistoric culture in Georgia that had interactions with Europeans (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

The most "complex" prehistoric culture in Georgia that interacted with Europeans was the Mississippian Culture. Originating in the Mississippi River Valley and flourishing from around 500 to 1400 CE, the Mississippian culture was known for its large-scale corn-based agriculture.

The surplus of food from this agriculture allowed the development of large, complex towns and cities, such as the Cahokia settlement. This culture emerged from the Woodland Period, characterized by mound-building and large urban settlements linked by extensive trading networks.
