Explanation:

The Neolithic Revolution led to the development of agriculture and the rise of settled - communities. Specialized jobs emerged, such as pottery - making, weaving, etc. This led to social stratification as different jobs had different levels of importance and economic value. Military leaders did not lose power; in fact, warfare became more complex in some cases. Farmers did not achieve the highest social status. Families became less mobile as they were tied to their agricultural land, and human populations increased due to more stable food sources.

Answer:

A. Social stratification developed based on newly specialized jobs.
