Solution
The correct option is C Both 1 and 2 The Chalcolithic period marked the emergence of the use of metal along with stone tools. The first metal to be used was copper. The Chalcolithic culture in India ranged from 3000 BC to 900 BC, the Harappan period spanned between 3500 BC to 1500 BC. Hence, both Chalcolithic culture and Harappan Civilisation were contemporary to each other.
