Solution

The correct option is A St. Acheul
The hand-axe tools are known as Acheulian tools. They got their name because the earliest ones were excavated from St. Acheul in France.

In India, Acheulian tools have been found near Chennai in Tamil Nadu, and in other sites such as Isampur in Karnataka and Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh.
