The correct option is B Bhimbetka
The Bhimbetka rock shelters are a series of natural rock shelters in the foothills of Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh. This archaeological site was discovered in 1957. It is the largest repository of prehistoric art in India. The oldest paintings in this site date back to the late Paleolithic period (old stone age). The caves provide a rare glimpse at a sequence of cultural development from early nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled cultivators to expressions of spirituality.
