Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Horse)

सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता के कुछ स्थलों से घोड़े के मृण्मूर्ति, अस्थि, जबड़े आदि अवशेष प्राप्त हुए हैं, लेकिन उसका अंकन हड़प्पा की मुहरों पर नहीं मिलता है।

People of the Harappa civilization were known to horses, but no pieces of evidence have been found on seals. A great majority of seals found in Indus Valley civilization carry short inscriptions with figures of the one-horned animal (most common), the Buffalo, the Tiger, the Rhinoceros, the Goat and the Elephant.
