Solution
The correct option is D Harappan civilisation
In 1857, the British engineers accidentally used bricks from the Harappa ruins for building the East Indian Railway line between Karachi and Lahore. In the year 1912, J. Fleet discovered Harappan seals. This incident led to an excavation campaign under Sir John Hubert Marshall in 1921-1922. The excavations led to the discovery of the earliest cities-Harappa, Mohenjadaro and Dholavira.
