Solution

The correct option is A (a) Only 1 and 2
The potteries found at the excavation sites can be broadly classified into two kinds-plain pottery and painted pottery. The painted pottery is also known as Red and Black pottery. Trees, birds, animal figures and geometrical patterns were the recurring themes of the paintings. Most of the potteries that have been found are very fine wheel made wares, with a very few being handmade.
