C explains why beetles might have been in the region without a warm climate. Rather than eating the abundant vegetation, they may have been scavenging whatever small animal and plant remains they could find.

This has absolutely nothing to do with when they returned to a valley after an ice age, which, for all we know, may have only been 10k years ago.
