Explanation
Hunter-gatherers altered landscapes by setting fires that burned plants and trees, sometimes to clear land or help with hunting. They also contributed to the extinction of some animals by overhunting them. The other choices are incorrect: early humans used nearby natural resources for shelter, and they generally moved often rather than staying in one place and destroying many environments.
