Solution

The correct option is C Lapis lazuli
The Harappans had commercial links with Afghanistan and Iran. They set up a trading colony in northern Afghanistan which evidently facilitated trade with Central Asia. The Harappans carried on long-distance trade in lapis lazuli, lapis objects may have contributed to the social prestige of the ruling class.
