Solution

The correct answer is "foraging." Until about 12,000 years ago, all human societies were hunter-gatherers who subsisted primarily by foraging for wild plants and hunting or scavenging wild animals. The development of agriculture, which includes simple farming and herding of sheep and/or goats, did not occur until after this period. Similarly, trade and food production as we understand them today were not a part of these early human societies.
