Correct Answer: (B) Kalibangan
Explanation
→ Kalibangan is a major Harappan site in Rajasthan that provides unique evidence of a wooden carved drain, a rare find in the Indus Valley Civilization.

→ This significance lies in the site's distinctive features that differ from the standardized patterns found in Harappa or Mohenjo-daro.
→ The site is also famous for having the world's earliest furrowed field (ploughed field) evidence.
