Ian Gilligan et al. claim that during the Ice Age, humans at Varvarina Gora in Siberia made fitted clothing by boring holes in pieces of hide and fur with a sharpened bone tool called an awl and then threading cord through the holes to bind the pieces together. Eventually, as evidenced by artifacts at Aitzbitarte III in Europe, someone perforated the end of a bone awl to make an eye (hole) to hold the cord, thereby creating a sewing needle with which both steps could be performed in a single motion. This sped up the process of making clothing and, by freeing them from the need to push cord through holes manually, allowed artisans to make smaller holes and thus finer seams.

hardBased on the text, what can be concluded about clothing made during the Ice Age?
A
Clothing made with awls at sites like Varvarina Gora likely had finer seams than clothing made with needles at sites like Aitzbitarte III did.
B
Clothing made with awls at sites like Varvarina Gora could likely be made more quickly than clothing made with needles at sites like Aitzbitarte III.
C
Clothing made with awls at sites like Varvarina Gora likely had coarser seams than clothing made with needles at sites like Aitzbitarte III did.
D
Clothing made at sites like Varvarina Gora was likely made with needles, while clothing made at sites like Aitzbitarte III was likely made with awls.
