Correct Answer:
D. Bolan Pass
The correct answer is Bolan Pass. The Mehrgarh culture is one of the earliest known Neolithic agricultural settlements in South Asia, dating back to approximately 7000 BCE. It is located near the Bolan Pass in the Kacchi Plain of Balochistan, Pakistan. This site is crucial for understanding early farming and village life in the region.
- Mohenjo-Daro: A major Indus Valley Civilization site, but located in Sindh, not associated with Mehrgarh.
- Harappa: Another major Indus site located in Punjab.
- Lahore: A modern city, not an archaeological site of this culture.
Hence, the correct location is Bolan Pass.
