Correct Answer
D Aro was seasonal with feasting, while Nabo was a year-round system.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text explains: 'The difference is that youths worked on their father's farm in Nabo, rather than on their personal farms in Aro. Participants in Nabo are younger than those in Aro. The youths are still dependent on their parents or guardian in Nabo, but independent in Aro.'

Hint

Focus on the participants' age, independence, and the ownership of the farms they worked on for each method.
