Answer:

A. Meluha

Read Explanation:

  • The agricultural progress led to surplus production and storage of grains. Accurate weights and measures were used for exchanging the stored products.

  • The inscriptions discovered from Mesopotamia mention their trade relation with Meluha. Historians opine that Meluha is probably Harappa. The Mesopotamian seals found from Harappa also prove this trade link.

  • Lothal was one of the centres of maritime trade

  • No evidence for the use of coins has been found yet.

  • They collected copper from the mines of Khetri in the present Rajastan and tin from the present Afghanistan and central Asia.

  • Copper was mixed with tin to produce bronze, to make tools and weapons. Hence Harappan civilization came to be known as Bronze Age civilization.
