Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Dholavira)

धौलावीरा हड़प्पा सभ्यता की भारत में स्थित दूसरी सबसे बड़ी (प्रथम राखीगढ़ी) बस्ती है। यह गुजरात के कच्छ के रन में अवस्थित है। यहां से उत्खनन के परिणामस्वरूप हड़प्पा सभ्यता की अनेक महत्वपूर्ण जानकारियां प्राप्त की गईं। इन खोजों में शैलकृत जलकुंड (Rock-cut Reservoir) महत्वपूर्ण हैं।

Dholavira, which is the second largest site of Harappan Civilization in India (after Rakhigarhi) is located in Rann of Kachchh (Gujarat). R.S. Bisht and his colleagues excavated this site in 1992. Dholavira is one of the most prominent archaeological sites of Harappa Civilization which gives us important information about great bath and rock-cut reservoir which was 7 metres deep and 79 metres long.
