When did the use of iron begin in Indian subcontinent?
Detailed Explanation:
Iron Age in the Indian subcontinent began around 1800–1200 BCE (approximately 3,000–3,800 years ago). Earliest evidence comes from sites like Atranjikhera (Uttar Pradesh) and Hallur (Karnataka).
Options suggest 9000, 12000, or 6000 years ago—all significantly overstated timelines that do not match archaeological evidence of iron smelting in India.
Therefore, none of the given options are correct, making Option 5 the correct answer.
