Explanation:

Option 1 is not true about the Vikings and is therefore, correct. Vikings are said to have carried reindeer antlers and other comb-making material from Norway to Denmark. The passage states: “Combs carved from animal antlers, as well as comb manufacturing waste and raw antler material has turned up at three archaeological sites in Denmark….” Later in the passage it is also mentioned that: “The fact that the animals shed their antlers also made them easy to collect from the large herds that inhabited Norway.” Thus, it is clear that reindeer antlers and not reindeers were brought by Vikings from Norway, to Denmark. Retain option 1. Option 2 is incorrect. It is true that the Vikings had trade relations with European nations before raiding Northern Europe. Therefore option 2 is not an exception. Eliminate option 2.
Option 3 is incorrect. The writer states: “Antler craftsmanship, in the form of decorative combs, was part of Viking culture. Such combs served as symbols of good health…” Option 3 is not an exception. Eliminate option 3.
Option 4 is incorrect. The writer states: “Beyond Norway, these combs would have been a popular industry in Scandinavia as well.” Option 4 is true about Vikings and is therefore an incorrect option. Eliminate option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
