Answer 1

The correct option is B S1 and S2 are true. S2 is not the explanation for S1

The caste system of Hindus consisted of Brahmins at the top, followed by Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. The occupation for each division was pre-defined.

Even the Muslims followed a class-based division, which consisted of the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class Muslims. These classes defined the occupation for each.
