Solution

The correct option is B Jean - Francois Jarrige
Mehrgarh was discovered by an archaeological team led by the French archaeologist Jean - Francois Jarrige the site was excavated continuously between 1974 and 1986. Early evidence has been found suggesting that a Civilization existed in Mehrgarh as early as 7000 BCE which is 3500 years before the Indus Civilization. Lot of influence in History has always been on Egypt and Turkey during the period 7000 BCE, but Mehrgarh was far advanced than both of them.
