    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    The Old Stone Age sites are widely found in various parts of the Indian subcontinent. These sites are generally located near water sources. Several rock shelters and caves used by the Paleolithic people are scattered across the subcontinent. They also lived rarely in huts made of leaves. Some of the famous sites of the Old Stone Age in India are: o The Soan Valley and Potwar Plateau in northwest India. o The Siwalik Hills in north India. o Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh. o Adamgarh hill in Narmada valley. o Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh and o Attirampakkam near Chennai. • Jorwe in Maharashtra is a chalcolithic site and not a Paleolithic or Old Stone Age site. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer. • Other Famous Chalcolithic Sites: o Ahar (Banas Valley, South Eastern Rajasthan) o Daimabad (Ahmednagar, Maharashtra) o Chirand, Senuar, Sonpur (Bihar), o Mahishdal (West Bengal) o Paiyampalli in Tamil Nadu o Songaon, Inamgaon and Nasik (Maharashtra)
