Answer 1

The correct option is C (c) Only 1 and 3

Both men and women wore ornaments like necklaces, fillets, armlets and finger rings. Girdles, earrings and anklets were worn only by women. Harappans used cotton and wool, which were spun by rich and poor alike. Spindles and whorls were made from expensive faience as well as cheap clay. The people of the time were conscious of fashion as well, as can be inferred from the different styles of hair and beard
