According to the professor, why was the discovery of stone tools important?

A. It proved that teosinte was simultaneously domesticated in multiple locations.

B. It helped to confirm the period in which maize was first domesticated.

C. It suggested that maize required farming techniques that were more complex than experts had previously assumed.

(caution: this choice is not mentioned)

D. It provided evidence that maize plants were used for more purposes than experts had previously assumed.

And subsequent archaeological digs have confirmed this estimate. In one site, archaeologists uncovered a set of tools that were nearly 9,000 years old. 

And these tools were covered with a dusty residue… a residue of maize, as it turns out… thus making them the oldest physical evidence of maize that we’ve found so far.
