Humans could usually hunt only on foot.
D
Humans were afraid of the buffalo.

Before horses became available, people generally had to hunt buffalo on foot. Since buffalo could run much faster than people, approaching and pursuing them was difficult; their size or hunters’ fear was not the main reason. The best answer is C, “Humans could usually hunt only on foot.”
