Answer: B) Killing all their crops

Explanation: The correct answer is that the soil became too salty for crops to grow, which led to the decline of the Indus Valley civilization. The drought caused by this salinity generated a great decrease in the commercial capacity of this civilization against the Egyptians and Mesopotamians, who where de facto those who supported the consumption of the Indus civilization through the exchange of goods.
