Answer »Answer: (c)
Turquoise and Jade might have been brought from Central Asia. Trading network, both internal (within the country) and external (foreign), was a significant feature of the urban economy of the Harappans.
As the urban population had to depend on the surrounding countryside for the supply of food and many other necessary products, there emerged a village-town (rural-urban) interrelationship.
Similarly, the urban craftsmen needed markets to sell their goods in other areas. It led to contact between the towns.
The traders also established contacts with foreign lands particularly Mesopotamia where these goods were in demand.
