Bc. 1500–1000 BCE
Cc. 600–300 BCE
Dc. 3200–2800 BCE
Correct Answer: c. 2600–1900 BCEYour Answer: A

Explanation

Correct answer: लगभग 2600–1900 ईसा-पूर्व. The Mature Harappan phase is generally dated to about 2600–1900 BCE. Earlier regional and Early Harappan developments preceded it, and a Late Harappan phase followed after urban decline. Therefore the other options either belong to another chronological phase, a different site, or an older interpretation that does not best fit the evidence.
