The correct option is B Sramana

Sramanas also criticised sacrificial worship because of their belief in ahimsa or non-violence. The Brahmins and Sramanas also adopted many local religious practices like the worship of mother goddesses, snakes, animals, trees and even dead ancestors to their religion.
