Which statement about the Indus script is correct?

It has not been conclusively deciphered

The governing concept is the present state of knowledge about the Indus or Harappan script. Many inscriptions and signs have been found on seals, pottery, tablets and other objects, but scholars have not reached a generally accepted decipherment. The language represented by the signs and the exact meaning of the writing therefore remain uncertain. Option C is correct because it carefully states that the script has not been conclusively deciphered; this does not mean that no study or interpretation exists. Option A is wrong because it has not been fully read in Sanskrit. Option B is wrong because the script is not limited to coins, and coins were not its main surviving medium. Option D is wrong because the Indus civilisation predates the Gupta period by many centuries.
