    Currect Answer:(D) Mesolithic period

    Explanation:

    • Lower, Middle, and Upper Palaeolithic periods are associated with very early humans who were primarily hunter-gatherers.
    • Animal domestication, as we know it, is linked to the development of settled communities and agriculture, which is a characteristic of the Mesolithic period.

    Although dogs might have started a commensal relationship with humans earlier, full-fledged domestication is linked to the Mesolithic era.
