A Mound of the Living
B Mound of the Great
C Mound of the Dead
D Mound of the Survivor

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [C]

The correct answer is Mound of the Dead. Mohenjo-daro, the modern name for the site, has been variously interpreted as "Mound of the Dead Men" in Sindhi, and as "Mound of Mohan" (where Mohan is Krishna). Mohenjo-Daro is a collection of mounds and ruins on the Indus River's right bank in northern Sindh province, Pakistan. It's about 50 miles (80 kilometres) southwest of Sukkur, on the Indus' flat alluvial plain.
