Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer:
A is false, but R is true
Explanation:
The statement refers to findings from the Harappa.
Assertion (A): Incorrect
There is no strong archaeological evidence that circular brick platforms at Harappa were used for religious ceremonies. Their exact purpose is still uncertain.
Reason (R): Correct
Some of these structures were found with grains like wheat and barley, suggesting they may have been used for storage or industrial purposes, not rituals.
Hence, R is true but it does not support A, and A itself is false.
