The correct option is A 1, 2 and 4 only

Explanation:

Important Chalcolithic Cultures:

  • Banas Culture (2600 BC - 1900 BC): It flourished in the valley of river Banas in south-east Rajasthan. As its key-site is Ahar, on the outskirts of Udaipur, it is also known as Ahar culture.
  • Kayatha Culture (2400 BC - 2000 BC): Named after a key site called Kayatha, located on River Kali Sindh, a tributary of Chambal in Madhya Pradesh.
  • Malva Culture (1700 BC - 1400 BC): It is represented by a number of sites including Eran, Nagda and Navdatoli in western Madhya Pradesh. Among these Navdatoli, literally meaning a "village of the boatmen," situated on the southern bank of the River Narmada, is the most important and it has yielded evidence of the cultivation of different types of crops.
  • Jorwe Culture (1400 BC- 700 BC): Its representative sites are Inamgaon, Sonegaon and Chandoli (Distt. Pune), Prakash (Distt. Dhulia) and Jorwe and Nevasa (Distt. Ahmednagar) — all in the state of Maharashtra.

Jhukar culture was a phase of the Late Harappan culture in Sindh that continued after the decline of the mature Indus Valley Civilisation.
