Correct answer: (C) From its very beginning traces of agriculture have been found. — The claim of agriculture from the very beginning is not true, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The claim of agriculture from the very beginning is not true, so that is the answer.
★Bagor lies on the left bank of the non-perennial Kothari river in Rajasthan.
★It is the largest known Mesolithic habitation site in India.
★Its rich microlithic industry, locally on the Mahasati dune, is unmatched in numbers.
★At Bagor sheep and goat were the principal domesticated animals, not crops from the start.
★So the statement about traces of agriculture from its very beginning is the untrue one.
