Ancient History question: What is NOT clearly evidenced in Harappan cities?

The verified response to “Ancient History question: What is NOT clearly evidenced in Harappan cities?” is Huge royal palaces and large temples, option D. The original question-specific evidence states: Unlike Mesopotamia or Egypt, clear evidence of huge palaces and temples is absent. Huge royal palaces and large temples is the correct answer to “What is NOT clearly evidenced in Harappan cities”. This evidence connects the required Ancient History fact with its archaeological, geographical, cultural or chronological setting. Harappan evidence must be interpreted from excavated settlements, artefacts, environmental data and comparisons among sites; a single object should not automatically support a wider claim than the evidence permits. The choices Workshops, Drainage systems and Courtyard houses do not satisfy the same combination of site, feature, river region, crop, craft, discovery, chronology or cultural association. The attribution is presented as an exam-oriented historical identification and should be read within the archaeological context stated in the question. Then compare the chosen answer with the relevant NCERT theme and reject options belonging to another site or category. Replaying that method confirms Huge royal palaces and large temples as the keyed response for this Ancient History question. This evidence-led approach strengthens factual recall, chronological caution and option elimination for SSC, Railway, Banking, Defence, State and other competitive examinations.
