Which of the following architectural elements is excluded from the construction sites of the Indus Valley Civilisation?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The  correct answer is  option  1 i.e.  Iron Slabs.

  • Iron slabs: Not used — The Indus Valley Civilization was part of the Bronze Age; iron was unknown to them.

  • Baked bricks: Used extensively in city structures, including drainage systems, houses, and public baths.

  • Sun-dried bricks: Commonly used in less important or non-urban structures.

  • Mortar of gypsum: Used especially in structures like the Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro.

Therefore, Iron slabs were excluded from the construction sites of the Indus Valley Civilization.
