A. Harappa
B. Mohenjo-daro
C. Kalibangan✓ Correct Answer
D. Dholavira
💡 Solution & Explanation
Kalibangan provides unique archaeological evidence of an early ploughed field surface containing a grid of furrows, which indicates that two crops were likely grown simultaneously in rows. Major urban centers like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro lack this specific early agricultural excavation feature. Kalibangan also yielded evidence of fire altars, pointing to ritualistic practices in the civilization.
