Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Lothal. Rice cultivation is associated with the Harappan site of Lothal. Lothal is famous for the discovery of several ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization. Lothal is located between the Sabarmati river and its tributary Bhogavo.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rectangular basin has been found at Lothal that was said to be the dockyard. It is 218 m long and 37 m wide and is bound on all sides by baked bricks. As the Indus script is yet to be deciphered, it is not known if this was really India’s first port as is claimed by some and questioned by some historians.
Detailed explanation-3: -The excavated site of Lothal is the only port-town of the Indus Valley Civilisation. A metropolis with an upper and a lower town had in on its northern side a basin with vertical wall, inlet and outlet channels which has been identified as a tidal dockyard.
