  1. 2000 BC onwards

  2. 3000 BC onwards

  3. 500 BC onwards

  4. 1000 BC onwards

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Chalcolithic period, or Copper Age, was an era of transition between the stone tool-using farmers of the Neolithic and the metal-obsessed civilizations of the Bronze Age. The Copper Age was really a phenomenon of the eastern Mediterranean regions, and occurred from roughly 3500 to 2000 BCE. The people of the chalcolithic phase used different types of pottery, one of which is called black-and-red and seems to have been widely prevalent from nearly 2000 B.C. onwards. It was thrown on wheel and occasionally painted with white linear designs. Hence, Option A is correct. In India, it spanned around 2000 BC to 700 BC. Hence, 3000 BC is prior to the chalcolithic phase in India, 500 BC is post-chalcolithic phase, 1000 BC falls within the chalcolithic phase, hence, incorrect.
