For what was Harappan cotton used?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: For making cloth
Harappan cotton was processed into fibres, spun into thread and woven to make cloth. This connects cotton with the textile activities of spinning and weaving. Metal smelting required ore, fuel and furnaces; seal carving required suitable stone or other material; and weights were made from durable materials such as stone. These alternatives do not describe cotton’s main use, so option A is correct.
