Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Colonizer plants that grow in disturbed areas were ideal for domestication because they have traits such as rapid growth, adaptability, and tolerance of human interference. These plants were easier to cultivate and harvest for human consumption or use, making them more suitable for domestication compared to other types of plants. Settler plants in well-maintained gardens may not have the same level of adaptability, while sedentary plants only growing in specific environments and nomadic plants growing under specific climatic conditions are more difficult to cultivate and may not be as reliable for human use.
