The correct answer is exploitation of local plants and animals. Band societies are small-scale, nomadic groups that rely on hunting, gathering, and fishing for their subsistence. They often live in areas where resources are abundant, and their survival depends on their knowledge of the local environment and their ability to exploit local plants and animals efficiently. To find this answer, one can study the characteristics of band societies, their social organization, and their subsistence strategies. Ethnographic studies and anthropological literature can provide insights into the typical characteristics of band societies.
