Explanation by: Admin

The Indus Valley Civilization (also known as Harappan Civilization) is generally dated from around 2500 BC to 1750 BC.

  • It was one of the earliest urban civilizations in the world, contemporaneous with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
  • The civilization declined gradually around 1750 BC, likely due to environmental changes, shifting river patterns, or other factors.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) 2400 BC – 1700 BC, (B) 2500 BC – 1700 BC, and (C) 2400 BC – 1750 BC – These dates are close, but (D) 2500 BC – 1750 BC is the most widely accepted timeframe among historians and archaeologists.

So, the correct answer is: (D) 2500 BC – 1750 BC.
