Carl Galvan · Answer 1

it is actually "Monsoon flooding led to advances because people developed baked bricks to protect buildings." aka D.

because the harrapans made baked bricks and baked bricks are like fired clay, its alot more hard but less durable then wet clay but no one wants wet clay do they?, so they figured out the buildings were more durable with baked bricks, so they could stop damage from floodings.

so your answer would be D.
