Solution

The correct option is A Citadel
The cities of Mohen-jo-daro were divided into two sections. One was smaller and the other was bigger. The smaller section was raised above the ground, about 12 meters high and had massive walls surrounding it. These walls protected the area from floods. These were known as 'Citadel'.
