Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

The people of the Indus region also worshiped trees. The picture of a deity is represented on a seal in the midst of the branches of a Pipal tree. Animals were also worshiped in Harappan times, and many of them are represented on seals. The most important of them is the humped bull. A seal depicting a 3 headed horned god, with animals surrounding him indicate the prototype of Shiva. They also worshiped many other gods also in the form of trees, animals, and human beings. So the correct answer is D.
