A
We can’t decipher their written language
B
We don’t know where they settled
C
We have not learned about their homes
D
We don’t know what games they played
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most inscriptions containing these symbols are extremely short, making it difficult to judge whether or not they constituted a writing system used to record the as-yet unidentified language(s) of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Despite many attempts, the ‘script’ has not yet been deciphered, but efforts are ongoing.

Detailed explanation-2: -So far, the Indus writing system could not be translated because the texts are too short, we have no bilingual inscription and we do not which language or languages were transcribed. Moreover, it is possible that it worked differently from any other writing system of the same general period.

Detailed explanation-3: -The names Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were given to the cities in later times. We do not know what the Indus people called their cities, because nobody has been able to translate their ancient language.
