    Correct Answer: (B) Mehrgarh

    Explanation:

    Mehrgarh, located in Balochistan, Pakistan, is a unique archaeological site with a long history of human settlement spanning a vast period. Excavations at Mehrgarh have revealed evidence of continuous habitation from the Stone Age (around 7000 BCE) through the Harappan civilization (Indus Valley Civilization) period (around 3300-1300 BCE). This makes Mehrgarh a valuable resource for understanding the development of human societies and cultures in the Indian subcontinent.

    Here’s a breakdown of why the other options are less likely:

    • (A) Amri: This Indus Valley Civilization site in Sindh, Pakistan, primarily reflects the later Harappan period.
    • (C) Kotdiji: Another Indus Valley Civilization site, Kotdiji in Sindh, Pakistan, also falls within the Harappan period.
    • (D) Kalibangan: Located in Rajasthan, India, Kalibangan was a significant Indus Valley Civilization settlement, but its occupation doesn’t extend back to the Stone Age
