Solution

The correct option is D Peepal
The worship of trees was widespread during the Indus Valley Civilization. The Peepal tree was considered most sacred. One of the seals shows a God standing between the branches of a Peepal tree and the God was being worshipped by a devotee on his knees. The discovery of a large number of seals with Peepal trees engraved on them also suggests that this tree was considered sacred to the people of Indus Valley Civilization.
