A
Kiowa
B
Apache
C
Comanche
D
Caddo
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Caddoes were a sedentary, planter people. One of the Caddoan tribes, called Tejas by the Spanish, is the origin for the name Texas. Coahuiltecans in South Texas were the impetus for the San Antonio missions. The European diseases to which they were not immune diminished their number.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Caddo were sedentary farmers who grew corn, beans, pumpkins, squashes, watermelons, sunflowers, and tobacco.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Jumanos ranged from south of the Rio Grande to the Southern Plains. Within this territory they were essentially nomadic, although there were permanent enclaves at La Junta de los Rios (near present-day Ojinaga, Chihuahua), in the Tompiro Pueblos of New Mexico, and perhaps elsewhere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Caddos living in East Texas and Jumanos living in West Texas were both farmers and traders who developed wide-ranging trade networks and relationships with other American Indian tribal groups and Europeans.
