The best answer is **C. To give details about how food laws told the ancient [Hebrews] what they could eat.**<br /><br />The passage focuses on the archaeological evidence (animal bones) and how it supports the known food laws of the ancient Hebrews. It doesn't compare the consumption rates of different animals (ruling out A) and doesn't discuss the *purpose* of the food laws beyond restricting certain foods (ruling out B). The passage simply illustrates how archaeological findings align with the historical record of these dietary restrictions.<br />
