Answer:

Statement A - "Native American foods" were taken to "Europe" to feed "people and livestock" is an example of diffusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The literal meaning of the word 'diffusion' is spreading of "something" more widely.
  • When the Europeans took back with them native American foods, diffusion of ideas took place between the native Americans and the Europeans in the form of exchange of recipes of staple foods.
  • In this way, ideas kept spreading beyond the seas and 'diffusion' occurred
