Solution

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3
Pashupati Seal or Proto-Siva seal shows a seated figure in yogic posture, probably Shiva (also known as Pashupati). All male figures with horns on Harappan seals have been believed to suggest an association with Siva's imagery since Siva is strongly associated with the bull. Thus, Pashupati seal is also called 'Proto-Siva'.
