Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Both statements are true. Excavations at Indus Valley sites have uncovered seals depicting ships and boats, along with a massive dockyard at Lothal. These artifacts prove that the civilization engaged in maritime and overseas trade (such as with Mesopotamia), which directly confirms they were skilled in navigation. Thus, R is the correct explanation of A.
