Solution

The correct option is C Kshatriyas
Priests divided people into four groups, and this was known as varnas, where each varna had a different set of functions. The different varnas were Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. The second varna was that of the Kshatriyas who were the rulers, they fought battles and protected people.
