Why did people develop and use baked bricks in the Indus River Valley?

The Indus River flooded regularly, so people used durable baked bricks to build homes and other structures that could better withstand flood damage. Baked bricks were not mainly used to dam the river or build bridges; they helped protect buildings from the effects of annual flooding. The correct choice is “to limit damage from annual flooding.”
