C) The earliest occupants of the New World traveled along the western coast of North America, bypassing the interior and making it all the way to Tierra del Fuego; Clovis was a later migration from Asia adapted to terrestrial hunting and was the first to occupy the interior of North America.
D) None of the answers; the timing and nature of the initial colonization of the New World is still very much up in the air.
