Answer 1

The following statement about citadel that is not true is D. They housed public baths, because even though there is an exception (The Great Bath, Mohenjo-daro), it is not a common statement about Citadels. They were usually built on mounds above the flow of the river, they were found along the walls of cities and they were seen as strong central forts.
