Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Neolithic period is characterized by a relatively egalitarian society with minimal division of labor and limited specialized social roles. While there may have been some gender-based distinctions in labor (e.g. men hunting and women gathering), there was not a strict or elaborate division of labor as seen in stratified societies.
