Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
During the Neolithic period, while there was some division of labor, particularly between genders and sometimes age groups, it was not "well-developed" in the sense of complex or highly specialized divisions seen in later societies. The social structure was more egalitarian, with basic roles divided among community members, but without the extensive specialization and hierarchy that characterizes more advanced divisions of labor.
