Why did agriculture become more important in the Later Vedic period?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because of iron tools and settled life
During the Later Vedic period, expanding settlements and the use of iron tools in some regions helped clear forests and cultivate heavier soils. More settled communities therefore depended increasingly on agriculture. Naval warfare and paper currency were irrelevant, while increased nomadism would not explain the growth of permanent farming.
