The correct answer is D: Central Mexico.
Corn (maize) was first domesticated by indigenous peoples in Central Mexico around 9,000 years ago. Research indicates that it developed from wild grasses, particularly teosinte, through selective breeding. This region is crucial for understanding the agricultural history of maize as it spread throughout the Americas and eventually the world.
