And the correct answer choice is:

B. Cattle and pigs were found only in Europe

Cattle and pigs were not found in the Americas, and Native Americans were obviously unable to consume beef or pork. Native Americans had a mostly vegetarian diet supplemented by hunting or by the raise of animals like turkeys, which were present in the Americas.
