Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

Mehrgarh is one of the most significant Neolithic sites in South Asia, located on the Kachi Plain of Balochistan, Pakistan, near the Bolan Pass. It provides some of the earliest evidence of farming and herding in the Indian subcontinent, dating back to approximately 7000 BCE. Excavations have revealed that the inhabitants grew crops like wheat and barley and domesticated animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle. The site represents a transition from a hunting-gathering lifestyle to settled agriculture and preceded the Indus Valley Civilization. Options B, C, and D are historically inaccurate as Mehrgarh is a prehistoric site, while the Delhi Sultanate, Deccan kingdoms, and Rajasthan forts belong to the Medieval and Early Modern periods of Indian history.
