The option that best relates to how the use of the environment enabled early human clans to develop advances in food production is:
**Villagers learned to use tools to create a food surplus throughout the year.**
This advancement allowed early humans to cultivate crops and domesticate animals more effectively. As clans learned to utilize the resources in their environment—including tools for planting, harvesting, and processing food—they were able to increase their food production, leading to a surplus. This excess of food not only supported larger populations but also contributed to the development of settled communities and more complex social structures.
