Explanation by: Admin

The first metal tools were made during the Chalcolithic Age (Copper-Stone Age), and later during the Bronze Age. These early tools were primarily used for practical survival tasks, especially:

  • Clearing forests/jungles for agriculture and settlement.
  • Hunting and protection.
  • Cutting wood and plants.

Why not the other options?

  • (A) Making wheels: Wheels were invented earlier during the Neolithic Age using wood.
  • (C) House-building: Stone tools were already used for this before metals.
  • (D) Pot-making: Pottery was developed during the Neolithic Age using hands and simple tools, not metal.

Therefore, the first metal tools were mainly used for clearing jungles to support agriculture and human settlement.
