Solution

The best answer is D. Clear separation of labor was established between girls and boys. The passage describes how boys and girls in the Huron culture were trained in different activities from a young age. Boys were taught to shoot with a bow and play games that involved physical strength and agility, while girls were taught to do household chores and play games that involved domestic skills. This suggests a clear division of labor based on gender.
