The correct answer is

Palaeolithic Age and Neolithic Age

The Mesolithic Age is considered transitional because it marks the shift from the Palaeolithic (Old Stone) Age to the Neolithic (New Stone) Age.

The other option pairs describe later periods (Bronze/Iron Age or Chalcolithic/Iron Age), which come after the Neolithic phase, not before it.

Hence, Palaeolithic Age and Neolithic Age is the correct answer.
