(c) Use of sun dried mud bricks
(d) None of these
Ans: (b) Use of burnt mud bricks
Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Use of burnt mud bricks.
The most significant feature of the Indus Valley Civilisation was the use of burnt mud bricks in their buildings and structures. The Indus Valley cities, such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, were characterized by well-planned urban layouts and sophisticated architecture. The buildings were constructed using standardized and uniform-sized burnt mud bricks.
The use of burnt mud bricks allowed for the construction of sturdy and durable structures. The bricks were made by shaping mud into desired forms and then drying them in the sun or firing them in kilns. The use of burnt mud bricks enabled the construction of multi-story buildings, complex drainage systems, and other architectural marvels.
Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Use of burnt mud bricks.
