Solution

The correct option is C Proto-history
  • Proto-history has not been defined clearly and its period has also differed from country to country.
  • Proto-history has been generally accepted that it is that part of history about which we have found no written record in any form.
  • In Indian history, we accepted proto-history as the period when people began producing cereals.
  • Cereals have been found in the harappan sites during excavations..
  • Hence, Harappan civilization falls under the proto-history period.
