List-I (Harappan Site) List-II (Modern Name/Location)
A. Dholavira 1. Saurashtra
B. Rakhigarhi 2. Hisar
C. Bhirrana 3. Kadir Island
D. Bhogavo 4. Haryana

Code:

A) A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3
B) A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3
C) A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1
D) A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1). This matching accurately aligns Harappan sites with their specific geographical locations and administrative districts.

  • Dholavira (A-3): Located in the Kutch district of Gujarat, this site is specifically situated on Kadir Island (Kadir Bet) in the Rann of Kutch.
  • Rakhigarhi (B-2): One of the largest Harappan sites, it is located in the Hisar district of Haryana.
  • Bhirrana (C-4): This site, considered one of the oldest Indus Valley settlements, is located in the Fatehabad district of Haryana.
  • Bhogavo (D-1): The river Bhogavo is a major tributary of the Sabarmati in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, famous for the dockyard city of Lothal situated on its banks.

Option 4 is incorrect because it swaps the specific locations of Rakhigarhi and Bhirrana. While both are in Haryana, Rakhigarhi is decisively linked to the Hisar district in standard archaeological texts.
