AAbout half
BAbout a quarter
CUnder a tenth
DOver 90 percent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Over 90 percent
1. Recall the idea: Lead section.
2. The source says: "occupying at least 90 percent of human history".
3. Over 90 percent is correct. Farming began only about 11,700 years ago, so foraging fills most of the human past.
