D Correct answer
Explanation

Lothal is the Harappan site most famously associated with early rice cultivation. Archaeological evidence including rice husks and grains has been found at Lothal, located in Gujarat. Kalibangan is known for fire altars and ploughed fields, but not specifically rice. Harappa gave the civilization its name but is not the primary rice site. Kot Diji is a pre-Harappan site in Sindh, Pakistan. Lothal's location in Gujarat made it suitable for rice cultivation due to proximity to water sources.
