Answer: (D) Indus valley civilization

Harappa (excavated by Daya Ram Sahni in 1921) and Mohenjo-daro (discovered by R. D. Banerji in 1922) are the two great cities of the Indus Valley (Harappan) Civilisation. The Egyptian civilisation grew along the Nile. The Sumerian civilisation was the earliest part of Mesopotamian civilisation between the Tigris and the Euphrates. Harappan seals found in Mesopotamia show trade between the two, but they were separate civilisations.
