Solution
The correct option is B Kshatriya
The caste system became more prominent in the Later Vedic period. The earlier varna system was replaced by multiple caste systems which were rigid in nature. Social mobility became difficult as the castes were strictly divided in the line of occupation of the people. At this time, the Kshatriya caste rose to prominence. The ruling kings belonged to this caste. The Aswamedha Yajna was performed by kings to establish supremacy over other territories.
