Answer: (A)

Coahuiltecans refers to a broad umbrella of small hunter-gatherer bands that lived in the Texas and northern Mexico region. Among these groups are the Cujanes, Cocos, Guapites, and Copanes—the kinds of bands that scholars and historians commonly list as part of the Coahuiltecans because they shared nearby homeland, similar lifeways, and related linguistic/cultural traits. The other groups come from different regions or cultural-linguistic families, and aren’t categorized with the Coahuiltecan peoples in typical social studies framing.
