Correct Answer:

Mehrgarh

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Mehrgarh

Mehrgarh is a Neolithic site located near the Bolan Pass on the Kacchi Plain of Balochistan in Pakistan
. It is one of the earliest known Neolithic sites in South Asia, with evidence of farming and herding dating back to 7000 BC. Mehrgarh is also one of the most important Harappan sites, with evidence of occupation from the early Harappan period (3300-2600 BC) to the late Harappan period (2000-1300 BC).

Chirand, Gufkral, and Koldihwa, are all Harappan sites, but they are not located near the Bolan Pass. Chirand is located in Bihar, India, Gufkral is located in Kashmir, India, and Koldihwa is located in Uttar Pradesh, India.
