Correct Answer: Residential buildings for masses


Solution : The correct option is Residential buildings for the masses.

In Harappan architecture, residential buildings for the masses were typically not a part of the citadel. The citadel primarily housed elite structures such as administrative buildings, ceremonial centres, and possibly palaces. Residential areas for the general populace were usually outside the lower town's citadel walls. The citadel focused on governance, religion, and defence rather than mass housing.
