Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Indus valley civilization lacks any monumental palaces, even though they had the engineering knowledge. The religious ceremonies were largely confined to individual homes or small temples or in the open air. Though the religious elements were present, there are no pieces of evidence of religious dominance in any discovered settlement.

According to Marshall, the use of cotton for textiles was exclusively restricted to India during Indus Valley Civilization period and was not extended to the western world until 2000 or 3000 years late.
