Solution

The correct option is D The Sumerians of Mesopotamia

The Sumerians named Melukhkha of a prominent trading partner of Sumer during the Middle Bronze Age and there is a seal belonging to a Mesopotamian whose job it was to act as an interpreter of the Meluhhan language. On the other hand, there is nothing to suggest that people from Mesopotamia reached the Indus, so it is clear that the Harappans conducted the trade between the two civilizations. Mesopotamian ships sailed the length of the Gulf, as far as the western coast of Magan Oman peninsula, trading directly with Magan and with Dilmun Bahrain.
