The correct option is B Copper
The first metal to be extensively used by the people in India was copper. Archaeological evidence suggests that copper was first used between 8,000 and 5,000 B.C., most likely in the regions known now as Turkey, Iran, Iraq and toward the end of that period the Indian subcontinent.
