The correct answer is: C. Between1500 B.C.-1000 B.C.

The Ochre Coloured Pottery (OCP) culture was a prehistoric culture that existed in the northwestern Indian subcontinent from about 1500 to 1000 BCE. It is named after the distinctive ochre-colored pottery that is associated with it. The OCP culture is thought to have originated in the Ganges-Yamuna Doab region of India, and it spread to other parts of the subcontinent, including the Indus Valley and the Deccan Plateau. The OCP culture was a farming culture, and its people lived in villages. They were skilled in pottery, and they also made tools and weapons from stone, bone, and copper. The OCP culture declined around 1000 BCE, and it was replaced by the Painted Grey Ware culture.
