This question asks about the alternative name for the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world's earliest urban civilizations.
The Indus Valley Civilization is also known as the Harappan Civilization because the city of Harappa was one of its two major urban centers (along with Mohenjo-daro) discovered by archaeologists in the 1920s in present-day Pakistan. The civilization flourished in the Indus River valley region around 2300-1750 BCE and is named after Harappa, which was the first site to be excavated and studied systematically by Sir John Marshall and his team. This name has become the standard term used by historians and archaeologists to refer to this Bronze Age civilization.
The correct answer is (B) Harappan Civilization.
