The Correct Option is C

(A) Men in Paleolithic age, survived on hunting animals and birds, fishing, fruits and nuts.

(B) Men in Mesolithic age, domesticated some animals and started to stay in one place.

• Correct. In the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) period, humans began domesticating animals such as dogs, goats, and sheep. They also started to settle in semi-permanent or permanent settlements as their lifestyle became less nomadic.

(C) Men in Mesolithic age invented the wheel for transportation.
