Solution

The correct option is B 2 only
Microliths (miniature stone tools usually made of crypto-crystalline silica, chalcedony, or chert, both of geometrical and non-geometrical shapes) are associated with the Mesolithic Period (10,000-6,000 BCE).
The Neolithic period witnessed agricultural development and so it led to innovation in the development of stone tools.
