Ans: (a) Neolithic Age
Explanation: Man passed from the food gathering stage to the food producing stage in the Neolithic Age.
The Neolithic Age, also known as the New Stone Age, marked a significant transition in human history when humans began to shift from a nomadic lifestyle based on hunting and gathering to settled farming communities. During this period, people started domesticating plants and animals, practicing agriculture, and producing their own food.
The development of agriculture brought about a fundamental change in human society, leading to the establishment of permanent settlements, the emergence of complex social structures, and the development of specialized skills and technologies.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Neolithic Age.
