B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is false. Diamonds were NOT first discovered in the Golconda region - they were actually discovered in India more than 4,000 years ago, but not specifically in the Golconda riverbeds. The Golconda region (near Hyderabad) became famous for diamond mining between the 16th and 19th centuries and produced legendary diamonds like the Kohinoor, but diamonds were known in India from ancient times, with mentions in Sanskrit texts dating back over 3,000 years.
