At which Harappan sites, the entire settlements were fortified?

Options:

Dholavira and Lothal

Harappa and Mohenjodaro

Cholistan and Banawali

Nageshwar and Balakot

Correct Answer:

Dholavira and Lothal

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Dholavira and Lothal

"Citadels: While most Harappan settlements have a small high western part and a larger lower eastern section, there are variations. At sites such as Dholavira and Lothal (Gujarat), the entire settlement was fortified, and sections within the town were also separated by walls. The Citadel within Lothal was not walled off, but was built at a height."
