Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Kalibangan)
कालीबंगा के मृण-पट्टिका पर एक ओर दोहरे सींग वाले देवता का अंकन है। इसके अतिरिक्त मोहनजोदड़ो से भी सींगयुक्त देवता का चित्र प्राप्त होता है।
From excavations at Kalibangan, a series of ‘fire altars’ on mud-brick platforms were discovered. A triangular terracotta cake found at Kalibangan had a carving of a horned deity on one side and an animal (goat) being dragged by a rope by a human on the other. This shows the way to the emergence of a sacrificial tradition in the entire era.
