What was a major means of water transport in Harappan trade?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Boat
The governing concept is transport by water. Boats could carry people and goods along rivers, coastal waters, and connected maritime routes, so option A is correct. A bullock cart is designed for land travel, while a chariot is mainly a wheeled vehicle and a palanquin is carried by people; none of these is a normal water-transport vehicle. The question’s reference to water makes the boat the unambiguous answer.
