How many signs used to be part of the longest inscription found on Harappan seals?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 26.

The longest inscription found on Harappan seals is generally considered to consist of 26 signs. While most inscriptions are very brief, typically averaging around five signs, this longer example stands out. It's important to note that the Harappan script remains undeciphered, and there's ongoing debate among scholars about whether it represents a fully developed language or a system of proto-writing.
