Explanation:

Question 1

Rulers promoted sedentary agriculture because settled farmers were easier to tax (as they had fixed locations and predictable production). Migratory hunter - gatherers were hard to tax. The food selection and religious promotion reasons are not the main drivers for promoting sedentary agriculture.

Rice and wheat are indeed domesticated grasses. We harvest their seeds (grains) for food. So the statement is true.

The earliest domesticated plants for food date to around 10,000 BCE. 10,000 years ago is a more general term, and the correct chronological marker for the start of plant domestication is 10,000 BCE.

Answer:

A. since it was easier to tax settled farmers.
