(D) Mesopotamia

(I) The cylindrical seal is typical of this region

Explanation:

Chanhudaro a tiny settlement (less than 7 hectares) as compared to Mohenjodaro (125 hectares), almost exclusively devoted to craft production, including bead-making, shell-cutting, metal-working, seal-making and weight-making.

Nageshwar and Balakot, located near the coast, were specialized centers for crafting shell objects like bangles, ladles, and inlays, which were then distributed to other settlements.

Harappans may have sent expeditions to regions like the Khetri area of Rajasthan for copper and South India for gold. These expeditions facilitated communication and contact with local communities.

The cylindrical seal is typical of Mesopotamia, but the humped bull motif on it appears to be derived from the Indus region.
