<span> As far as the land and agriculture is concerned some post-1980 studies indicate that food production was largely indigenous to the Indus Valley suggesting that the land was quite fertile. It is known that the people of Mehrgarh used domesticated wheats and barley,[46] and the major cultivated cereal crop was naked six-row barley, a crop derived from two-row barley (see Shaffer and Liechtenstein 1995, 1999). Archaeologist Jim G. Shaffer (1999: 245) writes that the Mehrgarh site "demonstrates that food production was an indigenous South Asian phenomenon" and that the data support interpretation of "the prehistoric urbanization and complex social organization in South Asia as based on indigenous, but not isolated, cultural developments." Others, such as Dorian Fuller, however, indicate that it took some 2000 years before Middle Eastern wheat was acclimatised to South Asian conditions.</span>

The correct answer is letter B

Freedom of speech the guarantee guaranteed to any individual to express, seek and receive ideas and information of all kinds, with or without the intervention of third parties, through oral, written, artistic or any other means of communication. The principle of freedom of expression must be protected by the constitution of a democracy, preventing the legislative and executive branches of the government from imposing censorship.

A free and open debate on fundamental national issues generates positive considerations about the best strategy to be adopted in solving the problems of that community. For this reason, the existence of democracy and an educated and well-informed civil society whose access to information allows it to participate in public life, strengthening public institutions with its influence, is fundamental. This is where freedom of expression comes in, as it provides the community with a wide range of ideas, data and opinions free of censorship, which can be evaluated, and possibly embraced. For a free people to govern themselves, they must be free to express themselves, openly, publicly and repeatedly; orally or in writing.
