Answer 1

The three correct answers based on what cave paintings typically convey are:

A. Animals were an important resource for prehistoric people. B. Art was an important part of prehistoric culture. D. Hunting was an important survival skill for prehistoric people.

C and E are less likely to be accurate interpretations of cave paintings. Caves were not typically used as shelters, and while prehistoric art may show an understanding of animals, the depiction is often more symbolic or stylized than realistic.
