Answer: (A) Port

Lothal in Gujarat, near the Gulf of Khambhat, was a Harappan port town with a brick-built dockyard, one of the earliest known in the world. It was excavated by S. R. Rao. Large granaries are associated with Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, which is why (B) is the tempting option. No Harappan site is known for a zoo, and the dockyard, not a market, is what makes Lothal distinctive.
