Ans-[B] 
Explanation- Indus valley people had belief in life after death. The people of Indus Valley disposed of their dead either by burial or by cremation. They buried their dead together with household pottery, ornaments and other articles of daily use. Even when they cremated the dead, they preserved the ashes of the bodies in clay urns. Both these practices show that people believed in life after death.
The people of the Indus Valley also appear to have worshiped a male and female god. Indus Valley civilization traded with Mesopotamia because Indus seals have been found in there.
