Characteristics of the Neolithic Culture
The Neolithic culture, also known as the New Stone Age, was a significant period in human history characterized by several key features that distinguish it from earlier Paleolithic cultures. The chief characteristic features of the Neolithic culture are:
1. Practice of Agriculture:

• The most significant development during the Neolithic period was the shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled farming communities.
• People began to cultivate crops such as wheat, barley, rice, and maize, which led to the establishment of permanent settlements.
• Agriculture provided a stable food supply and allowed for surplus production, leading to population growth.

2. The Technology of Smelting Metal Ore:

• While the Neolithic culture is primarily associated with the use of stone tools, some advancements in metalworking began to emerge during this period.
• The technology of smelting metal ore, particularly copper, started to develop, paving the way for the later Bronze Age.
• The ability to extract and work with metals revolutionized tool production, leading to more efficient and durable tools and weapons.

3. Domestication of Animals:

• Another significant characteristic of the Neolithic culture was the domestication of animals.
• Early humans began to tame and breed animals for various purposes, such as food, labor, and companionship.
• Commonly domesticated animals during this period included cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and dogs.
• Domestication of animals provided a stable source of food, materials (such as wool and leather), and assistance in agricultural activities.

Therefore, the correct answer is C: 1 and 3 only, as the Neolithic culture is primarily characterized by the practice of agriculture and the domestication of animals. The technology of smelting metal ore, although emerging during this period, is more closely associated with later periods such as the Bronze Age.
