Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Practically all Jorwe settlements in the Northern Deccan were suddenly deserted

Most Jorwe culture sites were abandoned around 1000 BCE, possibly due to famine or drought, and the remaining sites show signs of increased poverty until their abandonment in c. 700 BCE.

There were no evidence of sudden abandonment, it was a gradual process.

The answer is D as it is not correct.
