Among the statements provided, the following are true about the Agricultural Revolution:

B. It occurred at different times in different places over many years.

C. Villages developed as people settled down to farm.

To explain further:

B - The Agricultural Revolution did not happen simultaneously worldwide. In different regions, such as the Fertile Crescent, China, Mesoamerica, and Africa, the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture-based societies happened at various times, starting roughly around 10,000 BC.

C - As people began to farm and domesticated plants and animals, they became more settled. This transition led to the development of villages and later towns and cities, as a stable food supply could support larger populations in a fixed location.

The other choices have inaccuracies:

A is not true because humans had been adapting to the natural world long before the Agricultural Revolution through hunting, gathering, and making tools.

D is not entirely true because although the Agricultural Revolution gave humans more control over their food sources, complete control over the environment was and is not possible due to many variables like weather, climate change, and natural disasters that humans could not entirely predict or manage
