Solution

The correct option is D Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
Archaeologists think that many people who lived in Mehrgarh were hunters because they have found bones of many kinds of animals from the earliest levels. These included bones of wild animals such as deer and pigs. In later levels, they found more bones of domesticated animals such as sheep and goats. Cattle bones were found in the level(s) after.

Therefore, these observations show that the people in Mehrgarh were once hunters. They gradually shifted to agriculture, domesticated animals and soon became farmers.
