Option: They were found in various waterways such as riverbeds.

Step-by-step explanation:
The copper and gold were the preferable metal used by the Neolithic Age because they were found in riverbeds, easy to shape in different sizes, melted in a low melting point, and could be used in making tools. Metal like gold and copper could be worked while it gets cold. As, for the other metals, it would have been hard for the Neolithic human to use because other metals need a high temperature to melt, and the process of forging, was not widely known in this period.
