Discussion
How did the Harappan civilization come to an end ?
A. It appears as if the rulers lost control.
B. There could have been deforestation in the area.
C. There were floods in the entire area of the civilization.
D. The rivers dried up probably.
Choose the correct explanation.
Answer: B
The correct explanation is A, B, D.
NCERT's Class 6 history lists the reasons historians suggest for the end of the Harappan cities: the rivers dried up (D), there was deforestation (B), possibly because fuel was needed for baking bricks and smelting copper, and the rulers seem to have lost control (A). It also mentions floods in some areas.
Statement C is the error: floods affected some areas, not the entire area of the civilisation. Since C is wrong, every option including it is wrong.
