Vedic civilization was not urban
so, answer should option B
The answer can be urban centers (central planning of towns with citadel, granaries and all) or female deities(mother goddess) but can never be horses. This is so because there have been no mention of a horse on seals/steatite images. But there's just one doubtful piece of evidence of horse bone found in Surkotada, Gujarat which isn't fair enough.
