D.

that hunter-gatherer communities' subsistence-level techniques equipped them to survive well into contemporary times.

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

Note the context in which the author talks about the Hadza: 'Moreover, foragers had other options. The contemporary Hadza of Tanzania, who had long been surrounded by farmers, knew they had alternatives and rejected them. To Sahlins, this showed that foragers are not simply examples of human diversity or victimhood but something more profound: they demonstrated that societies make real choices.' So, option A is the correct choice.
