The correct response is:
Their location near rivers provided rich soil that produced plentiful crops.
The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were situated along the Indus River, which contributed to their development by providing fertile land for agriculture due to the annual flooding that brought nutrient-rich silt. This agricultural productivity supported large populations and the growth of complex urban societies.
