Explanation:

People evolved into their current form some 200,000 years ago (see human evolution), yet they did not begin to engage in agriculture until about
15,000–10,000 years before the present.Wild grains were collected and eaten from at least 20,000 BC. So, D is wrong.
Option C: The first agriculture appears to have developed at the closing of the last Pleistocene glacial period, or Ice Age (about 11,700 years ago).From around 9,500 BC, the Neolithic founder crops such as emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, hulled barley, peas etc were cultivated in the Levant. Rice was domesticated in China between 11,500 and 6,200 BC.
