In a Mercator map projection, parallels and meridians are straight and perpendicular to each other (as in all cylindrical projections). The east-west stretching on the map is accompanied by a corresponding north-south stretching, making it a conformal map projection. However, because the linear scale of the Mercator map increases with latitude, the size of geographical objects gets more distorted the closer you get to the poles.
All lines of constant bearing (rhumbs or loxodromes) are represented by straight segments. <u><em>The conformality and the straight rhumb lines make the projection particularly useful for navigation</em></u>. Bearings can be measured using wind roses and the corresponding directions can easily be transferred from point to point on the map.

Answer:
A - Potters
Explanation:
This is where the Indus people settled. The first farmers liked living near the river because it kept the land green and fertile for growing crops. These farmers lived together in villages which grew over time into large ancient cities, like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro.
The cities of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa were built of fire-baked bricks. Over the centuries the need for wood for brick-making denuded the country side and this may have contributed to the downfall.
The Indus people were greatly reliant on trade. They traded with many different civilizations like Persia, Mesopotamia and China. They were also known to trade in the Arabian Gulf region, central parts of Asia, portions of Afghanistan and northern and western India.
Harappan people used different types of pottery such as glazed, polychrome, incised, perforated and knobbed. The glazed Harappan pottery is the earliest example of its kind in the ancient world.
Iron was not used in the the Harappan cities. Harappan cities are the part of Indus Valley Civilisation, which was held after the Chalcolithic period of stone age. During the Chalcolithic period copper was first used to make tools, utensils and other objects.
