Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → B, C only

B. Swat: The Swat Valley, located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, is known for its archaeological remains from the Late Harappan or post-urban Harappan period. During this phase, the traditional urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization had declined, and smaller rural settlements and cultural changes were observed in regions like Swat.

C. Jhukar: Jhukar is an archaeological site that is associated with the Late Harappan period. It is located in the Cholistan region of present-day Pakistan. The Late Harappan phase represents the later stages of the Indus Valley Civilization when urban centers were in decline, and rural and smaller settlements were more common. Jhukar provides valuable evidence of this transitional period.

So, the correct option is [3].
