Solution

The correct option is A ritual practices
The Great Bath is one of the important structures excavated at Mohenjodaro. It is a 55 meters long and 35 meters wide, well-engineered pool. The burnt bricks used on the side walls as well as the floor so finely fitted together that the tank was watertight. Historians believe that the Great Bath was used on religious festivals, maybe to take a dip before the rituals.
