Though the Incas lacked wheeled tools and draft animals, their economy was based primarily on Option (B) Farming.

Explanation:

The Incas had a highly efficient system based on storage of foodstuffs high in the Andean mountains and paying tribute and it is possible to say that their economy was based on farming, but it was actually a highly diversified economy, especially considering there were no large draft animals and no use of the wheel. For example, the was some mining practiced as many of their ritual pieces had gold and silver, and the Incan nobility would wear jewelry and other ornaments on their clothing that were made of gold and silver. However, they did not mine for the precious metals to the extent the Europeans would and it was not used like currency.  There are some scholars who argue that one thing the Incans and other cultures of that era in that region did use more like currency were spondylus shells as they are found associated with many important ancient sites very far from the sea (Carter, 2011).  Agriculture was very important in the Empire but the production was largely for local consumption and paying tribute to the Incas. It might be a stretch to say that their subsistence farming and tribute paying was the basis of the economy. There were also artisans, fishermen, ceramic makers, weavers, and many other specializations that varied regionally as well.

farming is the correct answer.
