Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Terracotta. The history of India begins with the birth of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), also known as the Harappan Civilization.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Indus Valley people made terracotta images also but compared to the stone and bronze statues the terracotta representations of human form are crude in the Indus Valley. They are more realistic in Gujarat sites and Kalibangan. The most important among the Indus figures are those representing the mother goddess.
Detailed explanation-3: -"The building material for the villages and cities of the IVC [Indus Valley Civilization] was predominantly mud brick. Only in the Mature phase were baked bricks used in quantity, especially for walls and floors exposed to water (Possehl, 2002; Datta, 2001).
Detailed explanation-4: -Ranging in size from slightly larger than a human thumb to almost 30 cm.
