Hi!
Ok so if we distill the argument down to its core we realize that the author is arguing that because there was no evidence of cultivation ---> we can conclude that society was a hunter gatherer.
While we do discuss fire, we discuss it knowing that the goal of the fire was to clear land.
Answer choice is attempting to connects seeds with the fire. Now it is wrong for a few reasons:
1. we don't know that the trees and plants that release when subjected to fire were available back then/ could have been planted back then
2. There is no evidence of any cultivation. So even if there were seeds that release upon fire, this doesn't help us strengthen the fact that they didn't cultivate anything.
We wanna prove that they didn't cultivate anything and that they didn't transition into an agricultural society. While answer choice C uses a lot of the right words, it doesn't end up having an impact on the argument.
Even if answer choice C was true and some seeds release after being subjected to fire. This would imply that we should've found seed cultivation which did not occur.
Remember that in strengthen questions we don't disagree with the premises given to us. Despite the fact that we can introduce new ideas.
