Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The transition to agriculture and raising stock first occurred in the Fertile Crescent, a region that includes parts of modern-day Anatolia (Turkey) and Mesopotamia (spanning parts of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Iran). This area is often referred to as the "cradle of civilization" due to its early development of agriculture, which allowed for the rise of the first cities and complex societies.
