Solution

The correct options are
A The caste system defined the occupation for people.
B Priests belonged to the highest caste, but the kings were the central power.
C Many rulers rose and fought for power.
During 1,000-600 BCE, the settlements of the Aryans expanded to new places in the Gangetic plain. The caste system became more prominent. The priests were honoured but the kings remained the center of power in spite of belonging to Kshatriya caste. With the rise of kings, struggle for power increased. The caste systems became more rigid in nature and it was strictly divided in the line of occupation of the people.
