• B. Rakhigarhi
• C. Hulas
• D. Sinauli

Hint:

Harappa was the first site to be excavated from the Indus Valley Civilization, setting the stage for the discovery of Mohenjo-Daro and other sites.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The first site where the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was discovered is Harappa, located in present-day Pakistan. In the 1920s, archaeologists began excavating Harappa and uncovered evidence of a highly advanced urban culture with sophisticated drainage systems, impressive architecture, and evidence of trade and writing.
Harappa, along with Mohenjo-Daro, is considered one of the major sites of the IVC. The discovery of these sites dramatically changed our understanding of ancient civilizations in the Indian subcontinent, revealing a complex and urbanized society that existed thousands of years ago.
