Solution

The correct option is C Iron
The use of iron in the subcontinent started mainly in the later Vedic age, i.e. post 1000 BC. Copper, gold, silver and alloys like bronze were widely used by the Harappans for different purposes like making tools, utensils, jewellery, seals and sealings among others.
