Correct answer: C

Harappan towns were normally placed on rivers or other perennial water.
Dholavira sits on an arid island, so water was diverted from seasonal streams and held in rock-cut reservoirs along the fortifications.
That water system, not the brickwork, is why the site is the standard example of Harappan water management.

Worth noting

Dholavira is in fact heavily fortified and used dressed stone rather than brick as its main building material, so the claims about baked brick and a missing fortification wall are both the reverse of the truth.
