Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Dholavira stands on the island of Khadir, in the Rann of Kutch.
Kalibangan is the Harappan site in Rajasthan and Rakhigarhi is the one in Haryana.
All three are genuinely Harappan, so the question is asking you to place the site rather than recognise the name.
Worth noting
Rakhigarhi is the tempting answer because it is the largest Harappan site in India. Largest is not the same as this one.
