Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Archaeological excavations)
हड़प्पा सभ्यता की लिपि का वाचन अभी नहीं हो सका है, अतः सभ्यता से संबद्ध अनेक पुरास्थलों से प्राप्त पुरावशेष ही हड़प्पा संस्कृति के विशिष्ट तत्वों पर प्रकाश डालते हैं।
The first artefact uncovered in Harappa was a unique stone seal carved with a unicorn and an inscription. Similar seals with different animal symbols and writings have been found throughout the region. Although the writing has not yet been deciphered, evidence found during the early archaeological excavations is the major source to know about the Harappan culture.
