A.Palaeolithic Age.
B.Mesolithic Age.
C.Neolithic Age.
D.All of the above.

Answer 1

Hint: We know that the paleolithic is considered the first Stone Age; a time when hominids used stones to make tools and the distances from the first known tool used about million years ago until the end of the last Ice Age.

Complete answer:
With the use of Paleolithic time set in almost all mysterious ways, we are grateful for our modern organizational minds of organization that come with certain components. If we look at various 'categories' and symbols we think we can see in tool cultures around the world at this time - and, most importantly, not in chronological order. Different phases of Stone Age are:
Palaeolithic Age: In Paleolithic period roughly \[2.5\] million years ago to \[10,000\text{ }B.C.\] early humans lived in caves or simple huts or teepees and hunters used basic stone and bone tools, as well as crude stone axes, for hunting birds and wild animals.
Mesolithic Age: Mesolithic Period, or Middle Stone Age, is an archaeological term describing specific cultures that fall between Paleolithic and Neolithic Periods. While start and end dates of Mesolithic Period vary by geographical region, it dated approximately from \[10,000\text{ }B.C.\] to \[8,000\text{ }B.C.\]
Neolithic Age: Neolithic Age began around \[12,000\] years ago and ended as civilizations started to rise around\[3500\text{ }B.C\]. The term Neolithic comes from two words: neo, or new, and lithic, or stone. As such, this time period is sometimes referred to as the New Stone Age.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:
Remember that the Stone Age, whose origins refer to the discovery of well-known ancient tools, used some million years ago, is usually divided into three distinct periods - the Paleolithic Period, the Mesolithic Period, and the Neolithic Period - based on complexity in the design and use of tools.
