Question Explanation

Text Explanation

Note the context in which the author talks about the Hadza: 'Moreover, foragers had other options. The contemporary Hadza of Tanzania, who had long been surrounded by farmers, knew they had alternatives and rejected them. To Sahlins, this showed that foragers are not simply examples of human diversity or victimhood but something more profound: they demonstrated that societies make real choices.' So, option A is the correct choice.


Hence, the answer is 'that forager communities' lifestyles derived not from ignorance about alternatives, but from their own choice.'

Choice A is the correct answer.
