Solution

The correct option is C Caste
In traditional India, caste inequalities are found.
Stratification in an Indian society is based on ascription. It means it is a type of culture in which not on the basis of achievement but on the basis of "who a person is", stratification is done. It could involve inequality on the basis of gender, economical status and caste system.
Hindu society was divided into four groups: Kshatriya, Brahmin, Vaisya, Shudra. Brahmanas were at the top of this caste ladder and Shudras were at the Bottom.
