A Correct answer
Explanation

Copper was the first metal used by humans, dating back to the Chalcolithic period around 8000-5000 BCE. It was widely used before bronze because copper occurs in native (pure) form in nature, can be easily worked, and doesn't require complex smelting. Silver, bronze, and gold came later in human history.
