During the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese people were making the transition from farming to city life (option B).

Explanation:

Shang dynasty -established between 1600 and 1046 B.C.- corresponds perhaps to the second great Chinese dynasty, but the first with historical records that demonstrate its culture. This culture is related to the establishment in cities, the beginning of the Chinese bronze age and advances in astronomy and mathematics. The development of a military culture is also a feature of the Shang dynasty.

Although at first the economy of the Shang Dynasty was based on a farming and cattle-raising village, later the Chinese population settled to form large settlements in cities such as Anyang -the capital of the dynasty for more than two centuries- and Zhengzhou, which represents the Chinese people's shift from farming to urban life.
