OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Answer: D.
The sentence contains a logical contrast between the food the Mayan “primarily” ate and the food that made up the rest of their diet. This requires a contrasting conjunction, which eliminates choice B. Choice A uses the modifier “both” on the noun meat when it should modify animals. Choice C is wordy and awkward. Choice E is not parallel—“incorporating” needs to match “subsisted.”

As Brunel has mentioned - The sentence contains a logical contrast between the food the Mayan “primarily” ate and the food that made up the rest of their diet. This requires a contrasting conjunction.
I approached it a bit differently. I understood that the past after the comma should be a clause. MY analysis is as follows:
A. but incorporated both meat from animals they hunted and fished - because of connecting word 'and' I read it as meat from animals they hunted and meat from animals they fished, which seems illogical
B. and also had incorporated the meat from animals they hunted and fished - eliminated because of 'had' - past perfect, which is not needed here
C. even though they incorporated meat from animals they hunted and fished for as well - use of 'and' and 'as well'
D. although they also incorporated meat from hunting and fishing - correct
E. but incorporating the meat from animals they hunted and fished for - parallelism error between hunted and fished for and also _ing form of incorporating
