The correct answer is: a) Submerged Harappan sites.
The Gulf of Khambhat Archaeological Project is an underwater archaeological project that aims to uncover submerged Harappan sites. The project is being conducted by a team of archaeologists from the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in India and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.
The Harappan civilization was an ancient civilization that flourished in the Indus Valley from about 2600 to 1900 BCE. The Harappans were a sophisticated people who built cities, developed a system of writing, and traded with other civilizations in the region.
The Gulf of Khambhat is a shallow bay on the west coast of India. The bay is home to a number of submerged Harappan sites. These sites were once part of the mainland, but they were submerged when the sea level rose about 5,000 years ago.
The Gulf of Khambhat Archaeological Project is using a variety of techniques to uncover the submerged Harappan sites. These techniques include remote sensing, diving, and excavation.
The project has already made a number of important discoveries, including the remains of a large Harappan city. The project is continuing to excavate the site and to search for other submerged Harappan sites in the Gulf of Khambhat.
The discoveries made by the Gulf of Khambhat Archaeological Project are providing new insights into the Harappan civilization. The project is helping to us to understand the Harappans’ culture, their economy, and their way of life.

- Option b) Mesolithic shell middens are not associated with the Harappan civilization.
- Option c) Paleolithic cave shelters are not associated with the Harappan civilization.
