Answer 1

The correct answer is: It allowed for a steady supply of food and resources such as wool and leather.

The domestication of animals provided a reliable source of food (meat, milk) and materials (wool, leather) which enabled people to settle in one place rather than constantly moving in search of resources. This stability contributed to the development of permanent settlements and eventually led to the growth of agriculture and complex societies.
