Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Ravi.
- The ancient city of Harappa was built on the bank of the now-dry course of the Ravi River. Harappa was one of the major urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished around 2600–1900 BCE.
- The Ravi River, a tributary of the Indus River, once flowed near the city, providing water for agriculture and sustaining the population. Over time, the course of the river changed, contributing to the decline of the city.
