Answer 1

The correct chronological order is option a: End of last Ice Age; Beginnings of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent; First evidence of rice cultivation in the Yangzi Valley.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct chronological order is option a: End of last Ice Age; Beginnings of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent; First evidence of rice cultivation in the Yangzi Valley.

The Fertile Crescent, which stretches from the Persian Gulf to the eastern Mediterranean, was where the first evidence of agriculture emerged between 6,000 and 5,000 years ago. Meanwhile, in what is now China, residents of the Yangzi Valley began cultivating rice around the same time. The Lapita cultural complex in the western Pacific and the flourishing of the Harappan culture in the Indus River valley are not directly related to the chronological order provided in the question.
