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.
