Shortughai, the place where traces of canals have been found is in which present-day country?

Afghanistan

The correct answer is Option 2 - Afghanistan

Traces of canals have been found at the Harappan site of Shortughai in Afghanistan, but not in Punjab or Sind. It is possible that ancient canals silted up long ago. It is also likely that water drawn from wells was used for irrigation. Besides, water reservoirs found in Dholavira (Gujarat) may have been used to store water for agriculture.
