please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: Ancient Indus sculptures (like those of the Indus Valley Civilization) were often made from materials like clay or sandstone and could be of significant size, matching known archaeological findings.
• Option B: The Indus Civilization predated Buddhism's development, so depicting Buddha's path to deity is incorrect.
• Option C: Indus script (if on sculptures) is undeciphered, but the "top edge" description is not a defining feature of their sculptures.
• Option D: Indus sculptures weren’t primarily carved into mountain sides/cave walls (that’s more associated with later Buddhist/ Hindu rock - cut art).

Answer:

A. were extremely large and usually made out of clay or sandstone.
