Detailed explanation-1: -Since the culture was not dependent on peasants, Option A is the least possible statement about Indus culture.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Indus Valley civilization was essentially an urban civilization, and people lived in well-planned and well-built cities, which were also centres of commerce. Mohenjodaro and Harappa’s remains indicate great commercial cities-perfectly planned, carefully constructed, and well cared about.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since Harappa was the first site to be discovered, the Indus valley civilisation is also referred to as the Harappan civilisation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Harappan Civilisation accounts for about 1.3 million sq. km and was the largest area amongst the ancient civilisations. It extended from Sutkagendor in the west, to Alamgirpur in the east and from Manda in the north to Bhagatrav in Narmada estuary in the south.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
