Answer 1

The correct option is C A doorway through the ceiling.

The shelters of the indus valley civilisation were well - built with stone bricks. All of the houses had 2-3 floors and a rooftop. Each one of them had a well located within the premises of the house. Each house has a sewage system of its own made up of mud bricks. It ran underground and deposited its water into the main sewer. Another important feature of this civilisation was its assembly hall. It was a squared pillar hall having several pillars arranged in rows. It might have been used for mass gatherings by people for prayer or other fun activities.
