Read the passage and answer the questions:

Mesopotamian texts datable to the third millennium BCE refer to copper coming from a region called Magan. Interestingly enough copper found at Mesopotamian sites also contains traces of nickel. Other archaeological finds suggestive of long-distance contacts include Harappan seals, weights, dice and beads. Mesopotamian texts mention contact with regions named Dilmum. Magan and Meluhha. They mention the products from Meluhha: Carnelian, lapis lazuli, copper, gold, and varieties of wood. A Mesopotamian myth says of Meluhha: "May your bird be the haja-bird, may its call be heard in the royal palace."

Match List I with List II:-

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Explanation:

The Harappans procured materials for craft production in various ways. For instance, they established settlements such as Nageshwar and Balakot in areas where shell was available. Other such sites were Shortughai, in far-off Afghanistan, near the best source of lapis lazuli, a blue stone that was apparently very highly valued, and Lothal which was near sources of carnelian (from Bharuch in Gujarat), steatite (from south Rajasthan and north Gujarat) and metal (from Rajasthan).

Another strategy for procuring raw materials may have been to send expeditions to areas such as the Khetri region of Rajasthan (for copper) and south India (for gold). These expeditions established communication with local communities.
