The correct answer is C. They had more than enough wild plants and animals to thrive on. These groups in South America continued to live as nomads because they had abundant natural resources available to them, such as wild plants and animals, which provided them with enough food and sustenance. They did not see a need to settle down and engage in agriculture when they had a sufficient food supply from their hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
