C Correct answer
Explanation

The Harappans used gold, copper, silver, and bronze extensively. However, they did not use iron, as iron technology came to India after the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization with the advent of the later Vedic period and the Iron Age around 1200 BCE. The Harappan civilization was primarily a Bronze Age civilization.
