• B. caste system
• C. occupational system

Answer 1

The correct option is B caste system

The caste system is a social structure in India that divides different groups of people into a hierarchial structure. The people of lower castes were denied equal rights and opportunities compared to the upper castes. It resulted in the increase of economic inequalities between different castes. Though the importance of caste has decreased since independence, it continues to be a grim reality in many parts of rural India.
