Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about major crop complexes developed by early food producers. The statement "two adapted to dry uplands and two adapted to tropical wetlands" refers to the four major crop complexes that emerged independently in different parts of the world: (1) the Eastern Hemisphere crop complex, which includes wheat and barley adapted to dry uplands; (2) the Mesoamerican crop complex, which includes maize and beans adapted to tropical wetlands; (3) the Andean crop complex, which includes potatoes and quinoa adapted to high-altitude regions; and (4) the tropical Asian crop complex, which includes rice and millet adapted to flooded lowlands. Therefore, option E is the best choice as it accurately describes the four major crop complexes.
