The correct answer is option 1 - Lothal. Lothal was an ancient city in the Indus Valley Civilization, located in present-day Gujarat, India. It is considered to be one of the most prominent Indus Valley sites. Lothal had a well-developed dockyard that was made of bricks, making it an artificial structure. The dockyard was connected to a tidal creek and served as a hub for maritime trade and commerce. It was used for the construction, repair, and maintenance of ships. The discovery of the dockyard at Lothal indicates the advanced engineering and maritime skills of the people of the Indus Valley Civilization. Other sites such as Kalibangan, Harappa, and MohenjoDaro did not have similar artificial brick dockyards.
