Silver
B.
Diamond
C.
Copper
D.
Iron

Solution:

The correct answer is Copper. Copper was the first metal used by men. Copper was first used by man over 10,000 years ago. Probably copper can be found as a naturally occurring native metal that is sometimes found in large lumps on the ground. People learned to make this into copper tools and other things, although, for a metal, it is quite soft. When it was melted over the fire, people learned how to make an alloy called bronze, which is much harder and stronger than copper. Iron is the most abundant metal found on Earth. The Chalcolithic or Copper Age is the transitional period between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age.
