Solution

The correct option is B Varnas
Priests divided people into four groups known as varnas and each varna had a different set of functions. The four varnas were Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Varnas were further divided into jatis or sub-castes. Aryans and Dravidians are two different ethnic groups in India.
