Humans separated out the seeds of those plants they liked to eat over generations by chance and slowly began to observe that they could coax these plants to grow by placing their seeds in the ground. C. As human societies grew larger and more complex, they collectively decided that growing food for themselves would be far more efficient than gathering it from the wild. D.
