• Option 1: The passage compares food value in Elizabethan England to the modern world, not that food is extremely valuable today. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The passage says "A flock of 180 sheep is worth more than the average detached house" (in Elizabethan England), not more valuable than a modern house. Eliminate.

• Option 4: The passage says "the food supply depends heavily on what grows locally", so this is explicit.
• Option 5: The passage mentions "Trade depends on the season" but not four distinct seasons. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. Transportation was difficult in Elizabethan England
