None of the choices are correct.

Metalworking didn’t begin in the Upper Paleolithic nor because of Vikings; it began in the later Neolithic/Chalcolithic (Copper Age), when people first hammered native copper and then learned to smelt copper (roughly the 6th–5th millennium BCE in the Near East and Balkans). Bronze (an alloy of tin and copper) and the Bronze Age came later (around the 4th–3rd millennium BCE) and changed many societies in Europe.
