Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

(D) and (E) only

(A) and (E) only

(B) and (C) only

(C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(D) and (E) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (D) and (E) only

(D) It was written from right to left: This statement is correct. The direction of writing in the Harappan script is not definitively established, and it is still a topic of scholarly debate.

(E) It has been found on seals, copper tools, tablets, etc.: This statement is correct. The Harappan script has been discovered on various artifacts such as seals, copper tools, tablets, and other objects excavated from Harappan sites.

The other statements (A, B, and C) are not accurate based on the current understanding of the Harappan script. As of my last update, the script remains undeciphered, the number of signs is not definitively known, and the direction of writing is uncertain.
