Correct answer: the first choice.

All three cultures practiced cosmomagical/shamanistic religions and produced art showing composite supernatural beings — human figures combined with feline (jaguar) and avian elements (and other animal motifs) — e.g., Olmec were‑jaguar imagery, Zapotec anthropomorphic deities/ancestor figures at Monte Albán, and Chavín’s Staff God and stone carvings mixing human, bird and feline traits.
