A Correct answer
Explanation

Archaeological evidence suggests chopsticks originated in ancient China around 3000-4000 years ago, during the Shang Dynasty period. The earliest chopsticks were likely used for cooking rather than eating, gradually becoming eating utensils around 400 AD. While estimates vary, 4000 years is the most commonly cited figure in historical sources, though 5000 years is plausible for very early proto-forms.
