C. The extinction of animals that people hunted (correct)


The primary cause of the Neolithic Revolution was the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture. As humans transitioned from nomadic lifestyles to settled agricultural communities, they began domesticating plants and animals. The availability and sustainability of certain animal and plant resources played a crucial role in this transition. The extinction of certain hunted animals likely contributed to the need for a more reliable and sustainable food source, leading to the cultivation of plants and the domestication of animals.
