Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Uttar Pradesh.

The Harappan culture site ‘Sanauli’ is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh, specifically in the Baghpat district. Excavations at Sanauli have revealed important archaeological findings such as chariots, copper weapons, and burial sites, suggesting a developed and warrior-like society. These discoveries, dating back to around 2000 BCE, are considered part of the Late Harappan period. The site has significantly contributed to understanding the extension and cultural complexity of the Indus Valley Civilisation in the Ganga-Yamuna region.
