Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 2

The Harappan people had diverse religious beliefs and practices. Seals, sealings, amulets etc give details about religious beliefs of Harappans. For example, the depiction of pipal tree on amulets shows the importance of pipal tree. The Harappans believed in spirit charms as well.
