Solution
The correct options are B Why did people move away? C Who did they worship? D What did they eat? The Rosetta Stone is a stone slab that became key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, thereby opening a window into ancient Egyptian history. In this context, "finding another Rosetta Stone" or deciphering the script of the Harappans would be key to arriving at a deeper understanding of their society and breaking down questions that are yet to be answered.
