Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Daojali Hading

Explanation: The correct answer is D. Daojali Hading. Daojali Hading is a Neolithic archaeological site located in the Dima Hasao district of Assam, India. It is significant for being one of the easternmost Neolithic sites in the Indian subcontinent. Excavations here revealed tools and artifacts made from jadeite, a semi-precious stone not native to India, suggesting trade links with regions like China and Southeast Asia. The site offers evidence of early stone tool usage, pottery, and a mixed subsistence economy including shifting cultivation.
