Explanation:

First Question (Multiple Choice):

Indigenous peoples of Central and North America (like Mesoamerican cultures) primarily relied on maize (corn) as a staple food. Wheat is from Eurasia, potatoes are from the Andes (South America), and bananas are from tropical regions (not a main staple here).

C. maize corn
