Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The use of muscle, sun, and coal as energy sources is not a characteristic of the shift from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural society. This answer choice is irrelevant to the transition and does not relate to changes that occurred during the shift. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) are all significant changes that occurred during the transition.
