A. Burzahom✓ Correct Answer
B. Gufkral
C. Mehrgarh
D. Daojali Hading
💡 Solution & Explanation
Burzahom is distinguished by its subterranean pit dwellings, which provided shelter from the harsh cold climate of the Kashmir valley, alongside unique joint burials of humans and dogs. Other Neolithic sites like Mehrgarh are famous for early agriculture and mud-brick architecture rather than pit dwellings. Such archaeological markers are standard topics in ancient Indian history.
