Consider the following statements regarding the cultural continuity from the Late Harappan phase to the Painted Grey Ware (PGW) and Vedic periods: 1. The PGW culture shows a complete absence of any technological or ceramic continuity with the preceding Late Harappan cultures. 2. Religious symbols such as the pipal leaf, swastika, and proto-Shiva figures found in Harappan sites continued to hold significance in the later Vedic and Hindu traditions. 3. The transition from the Late Harappan to the PGW phase in the Indo-Gangetic divide is characterized by a shift from urban centers to smaller, self-sufficient rural settlements. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

• A: 1 and 2 only
