Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Gujarat
Lothal lies near the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat and has the best-known dockyard of the Indus Valley Civilisation, showing active maritime trade with Mesopotamia. Kalibangan is in Rajasthan, Rakhigarhi and Banawali are in Haryana, and Ropar is in Punjab; these are inland sites and are the usual distractors for coastal Harappan towns.
