Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Artisans did not practise agriculture.
C Artisans used to handcraft different items.
D Artisans sold their wares in Hattas.

Talented artisans were often rewarded by the wealthy residents and sometimes the king himself. And artisans used their rewards to buy things. Since they did not grow their own food, they had to buy it. The skills and products of the artisans in these centres would later be put to use in grander projects. The number of non-agricultural jobs increased. The extent of farm lands in around these new urban centres reduced. Homes and other buildings came up.
