Solution

The correct option is A 1 and 2 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: The Indus Valley Civilization is marked by a large number of copper objects. Copper and bronze artifacts included vessels, spears, knives, short swords, arrowheads, axes, fish hooks, needles, mirrors, rings, and bangles.

Statement 2 is correct: Indus Valley Civilization had trade relationships with Mesopotamian civilization. The archeological evidence for Harappan–Mesopotamian trade consists mainly of a few Harappan or Harappan-related seals and carnelian beads at Mesopotamian sites such as Kish, Lagash, Nippur, and Ur.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Iron was not used by the people of the Harappan Civilization.

Bronze was first used by the Harappans. Evidence of the use of Gold and Silver has been found. They also knew about the lead.
