What did West Coast natives commonly eat?

  1. Berries and plants.

  2. Preserved fish by drying and smoking.

  3. Mostly bison meat.

  4. Dairy products.

The correct answer is: Preserved fish by drying and smoking.

West Coast natives commonly ate preserved fish by drying and smoking due to the abundance of fish and seafood in their region. Berries and plants were also a part of their diet, but they were not the most commonly consumed food. Bison meat was more commonly eaten by Plains natives, not West Coast natives. Dairy products were not a part of the traditional diet of West Coast natives, as they did not domesticate animals for milk.
