Explanation:

Climate directly impacts the availability of edible wild plants (for gathering) and the presence, abundance, and behavior of prey animals (for hunting). Harsher or colder climates may limit plant growth, pushing societies to rely more on hunting, while milder climates with more vegetation support more gathering. Other factors like prey types, hunting skill, and population size are secondary to the overarching influence of climate on resource availability.
