The correct option is A 1 only
The Harappan people had a wide food base. Their staple food crops were wheat and barley. Other food crops included rice, peas, beans, fruits, millets, etc. Rice, a water-intensive crop, was cultivated in the region. This shows that the region was not arid in the past as it is today.
