Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Harappa was indeed a well-planned city, characterized by its advanced urban infrastructure. It featured a well-planned drainage system, one of the most sophisticated of its time. The layout of the city, including its grid-like street pattern and the drainage system, supports the assertion that it was a well-planned city. 
Therefore, the reasoning (R) correctly explains why Harappa was considered well-planned.
