Answer 1

Both formed agricultural settlements.

Polynesians practiced island agriculture (taro, yams, breadfruit, etc.). While most Aboriginal Australian groups are often described as hunter‑gatherers, some built semi‑permanent settlements and practiced food production/land management (for example the Gunditjmara eel‑trap and stone‑house systems at Budj Bim), so this statement is the best match. The other choices are incorrect: elaborate wood carvings and oceanic navigation are mainly Polynesian traits, and the two peoples do not share a recent common ancestry.
