Answer 1

The correct option is A (a) Only 1 and 2

In the lower part of the city, small one-roomed housed have been found which might have been used as quarters by the working class people. Some of the houses have stairs which indicate they might have been double storied. Most buildings have private wells and bathrooms and are properly ventilated. The most striking feature of Harappan civilization is the advanced drainage system.
