Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 only

The Harappan city was divided into the upper town called the Citadel (in citadel rich people lived) and the lower town. Lower Town was the residential area where the common people lived. The city streets of the Harappan period were based on a grid system and oriented east to west. The roads and streets intersected at right angles. Each street had a well-organized drain system. There was remarkable use of burnt bricks.
