ANSWER:

Metals important in Kush because 'they could be used to make pottery'.

Option: (d)

EXPLANATION:

Kush was an ancient African civilisation which was very similar to the Egyptian civilisation. Two of the most important metals found in Kush were gold and iron. Mining of these metals played a significant role in Kush’s growth. Gold was used in making jewellery which could be exported to neighbouring countries in exchange of money. Iron was recently discovered and was used in making tools which were used in wars and had great demand. Hence, these metals were very important.
