What was a common dietary staple among West Coast natives?

  1. Cattle farming

  2. Preserved fish by drying and smoking

  3. Agriculture and grain

  4. Wild berries and plants

The correct answer is: Preserved fish by drying and smoking

The common dietary staple among West Coast natives was preserved fish by drying and smoking. The other options are incorrect because cattle farming was not a common practice among West Coast natives, and agriculture and grain was not a significant part of their diet. Wild berries and plants may have been a part of their diet, but preserved fish was a more commonly consumed staple among West Coast natives.
