C Correct answer
Explanation

The transition from hunting-gathering to settled agriculture, known as the Neolithic Revolution, centered on domesticating plants and animals. This shift created permanent settlements and new economic structures. Pottery, weaving, and metalworking emerged as secondary technologies within agricultural societies, not as primary drivers of the transition.
