Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Mesolithic transition in Southwest Asia was less dramatic of a change from the earlier time period, as the region had already experienced a significant shift towards sedentism and the domestication of plants and animals in the preceding Epipaleolithic period. This allowed for a more gradual and integrated shift towards agriculture and a more settled way of life during the Mesolithic period.
