(Choice B) Mississippian peoples cultivated corn on Mississippi Valley floodplains and created pottery and immense earthworks is the most accurate brief description of their societies.
Mississippian cultures were known for their agricultural practices, particularly the cultivation of corn (maize), as well as their complex societal structures, pottery, and large earthen mounds and other earthworks. They were not primarily nomadic hunter-gatherers, and they did not live in cliff dwellings.
