A. Lothal
B. Harappa✓ Correct Answer
C. Mohenjo-daro
D. Kalibangan
💡 Solution & Explanation
The site of Harappa yielded extensive evidence of organizational capacity through rows of granaries situated near the river Ravi. Mohenjo-daro is famous for its Great Bath rather than multiple granary structures. Lothal features a dockyard and bead-making facilities rather than these specific threshing floors. Kalibangan is characterized by fire altars and ploughed field surfaces. Granaries served as central storage facilities for agricultural surplus in the Bronze Age civilization.
