Explanation:

Indus people were basically peace loving. Their arms (swords, daggers, arrow-heads, and spears) were primitive in nature. No evidence of armour, helmet, body armour or shield is available. The Aryans, on the contrary, were warlike people and were conversant with all kinds of traditional arms and armour and had devised a full-fledged ‘science of war’. The Vedic society was primarily based on kinship where as the Harappan culture could not be basically kin-based. Hence option 4th is incorrect.
