Which of the following was most probably the first metal to be used in India ?
Answer: B
The first metal used in India was most probably Copper.
The Chalcolithic (copper-stone) cultures, and the Harappan civilisation after them, made tools, vessels and weapons of copper and its alloy bronze. Copper occurs in nature in a usable form and melts at a far lower temperature than iron, so it was worked first everywhere.
Iron came into use in India only around the end of the second millennium BCE. Gold and silver were known early but were used in small quantities for ornaments, not as the first working metal.
