Correct Answer: metal


Solution : The correct option is metal .

The "Ayas" in the Rigveda describes metal or metal items, especially copper or bronze. Sanskrit hymns and lyrics can be found in the Rigveda, one of the oldest sacred scriptures from ancient India. The Rigveda's reference to Ayas suggests that early Vedic people were aware of and used metals. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin and copper in particular, were important metals in the development of ancient societies' technologies.
