B.

4

C.

3

D.

5

Correct option is C

​The ancient Harappan city of Dholavira is an important archaeological site of the Indus Valley Civilization, located on the arid Kutch region of Gujarat, India. The city was divided into three parts:

  • The Citadel: This was the most elevated area, used for administrative, religious, and public purposes.
  • The Middle Town: The area where the common people lived and worked.
  • The Lower Town: Located further down, this area had residential quarters and was dedicated to trades and activities of daily life.

Additional Information:

  • Dholavira is famous for its sophisticated urban planning, well-organized water management systems, and large reservoirs.
  • The city is one of the five major Harappan sites in India and is notable for its distinctive architecture, such as large stepped wells and the elaborate use of stone construction in an area that primarily used mudbrick.

Other Options:

  • 2 parts: This is incorrect as the city was divided into three distinct parts, not two.
  • 4 parts: There are no historical records suggesting that Dholavira had four parts. It was divided into three main zones.
  • 5 parts: Again, this is incorrect. Dholavira was organized into three main divisions.
