Answer 1

Metals important in Kush because 'they could be used to make pottery'.

Option: (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

• Kush was an ancient African civilisation which was very similar to the Egyptian civilisation.

• Two of the most important metals found in Kush were gold and iron. Mining of these metals played a significant role in Kush’s growth.

• Gold was used in making jewellery which could be exported to neighbouring countries in exchange of money.

• Iron was recently discovered and was used in making tools which were used in wars and had great demand. Hence, these metals were very important.
