Explanation:

During the classical era, people in parts of Africa with a dry climate did not develop drought - resistant crops. Raising and herding animals (A) was a common practice as pastoralism could thrive in drier regions. Locating urban centers near major river systems (B) provided water for agriculture and daily life. Trading with neighbors in more agriculturally productive areas (D) was also a way to obtain food resources. However, the development of drought - resistant crops was not a response at that time.

Answer:

C. Develop drought - resistant crops
