How may seals have helped in Harappan trade?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Identifying the source of goods or the trader
Harappan seals bear distinctive signs and animal motifs and may have been pressed into clay sealings attached to packages. Such impressions could help identify a trader, institution, or source of goods and protect the contents from unauthorised opening; therefore option A is correct. Ploughing, drying grain, and smelting are agricultural, storage, or manufacturing activities, not likely functions of seals.
