D Correct answer
Explanation

The seal depicts Pashupati (Lord of Animals), an early form of Shiva, shown with three faces and horns, surrounded by animals. This Proto-Shiva figure from Mohen-jo-Daro (c. 2000 BCE) represents an early deity concept in Indian civilization. The horned headgear and yogic posture suggest connections to later Shaivist traditions.
