Correct Answer: It was an urban civilisation with planned drainage and a grid town planYour Answer: A

Explanation

Correct answer: नियोजित जल-निकासी और ग्रिड योजना वाली नगरीय सभ्यता. The Indus Civilisation was highly urban, with planned streets, standardised bricks, covered drains, wells and organised craft and trade. It had long-distance contacts with Mesopotamia and used copper-bronze rather than iron. Thus the other options either belong to a different archaeological site, represent a different period, or do not match the specific evidence asked in the question.
