  1. Correct Answer: (C) Barley

    Explanation:

    Barley is widely considered to be the first cereal grain cultivated by humans. Archaeological evidence suggests that barley domestication began around 8000 BCE in the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East. This grain’s hardiness and adaptability made it a good candidate for early agricultural practices.

    • While wheat and rice are also ancient crops, evidence suggests they were domesticated slightly later than barley.
    • Sorghum cultivation likely began even later than wheat and rice.
