• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1 and 3 only

Chanudaro (Pakistan) was the only Harappan site without citadel and fortified structure.
Harappan Civilization was not self-dependent completely as inferences can be derived from its flourishing trade relations with Mesopotamian and Persian Civlisations.
All sites of this civlization are knwon for its civic planning and construction. The city of Mohenjodaro is said to have been rebuilt atleast 7 times due to flooding of River Indus.
