Solution

The correct option is A A thick layer of material called bitumen was used to make the bricks waterproof.
The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro had huge public baths. The Great Bath, which was discovered in Mohenjo-Daro was indeed a “great” Bath. The bricks at the sides walls and the floor so finely fitted together that the tank was watertight. Also, there was a thick layer of material called bitumen on the bricks to make it even more waterproof.
