Solution

The correct option is A Balutedari System
Balutedari System was a hereditary village servant system wherein members born in the families of goldsmiths, cobblers, fishermen, sweepers, etc. were forced to be engaged in the same occupations throughout all generations. With the abolition of this system, permission was granted to practice any occupation, thus freeing the people from a form of social slavery.
