Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Dockyard could handle high tides.

Lothal was one of the seaports of the Indus Valley Civilisation, located between the River Sabarmati and Bhogavo at Dholka taluka of the Ahmedabad district. The Gulf of Khambhat is also 18 km away from here. The dockyard was large and had a proper mechanism to facilitate the ships during high tides.
