Answer 1

The correct option is A <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> 1872

In the late 1820s, a British soldier stumbled upon the ruins along the river Indus. Later, during 1872-1873, a British archaeologist named Alexander Cunningham carried out preliminary excavation in Harappa and published reports.
