Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The residential buildings are built in the lower town. Almost all the major sites (Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro, Kalibangan and others), are divided into two parts–a citadel on the higher mound on the western side and a lower town on the eastern side of the settlement.
The citadel contains large structures which might have functioned as administrative or ritual centres.
