Solution

The correct option is B Aryan invasion
British archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler believed that the Harappan civilisation came to an end due to the invasion of the Aryans, a nomadic, Indo-European tribe. However, this opinion is disputed, as others believe that the civilisation had already been declining by the time the Aryans came.
