The Harappan seal is possibly the most distinctive artifact of the Harappan civilization. The seals were made of a stone called steatite. Seals and sealings were used to facilitate long-distance communication. Imagine a bag of goods being sent from one place to another. Its mouth was tied with rope and on the knot was affixed some wet clay on which one or more seals were pressed, leaving an impression. If the bag reached with its sealing intact, it meant that it had not been tampered with. The sealing also conveyed the identity of the sender.

Statements B and D are incorrect as:
Seals were not used to measure precious metals and stones. (Statement B)
The script on the seal has not been deciphered. (Statement D)
