hrishi you are relatively senior member of the forum ;)
a simple search feature could've given you following great explanation by Stacey before reposting the question

Hey buddy! hows you?.....I knew that these questions have occurred many times earlier, it was just to make it easier to understand for the new members who joined recently. I don't think they would find it easy to search the old posts.
I am hoping to get a reply from them.

Happy to see you back buddy!

do you want to comment on why others are wrong?

look at the tense "were primarily planters" and "had supplemented"
why not B?

"supplemented...with" ....what other things can we use instead of "with"? Can we use "supplemented... by"?
