Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence states that scavenging "as a major source of food acquisition" in ancestral environments. This suggests that hunting was also a major source of food acquisition, but not necessarily in competition with scavenging (rivalry) or replacing it entirely. Option B is the best choice as it acknowledges that hunting was likely another important method of obtaining food.
