Solution

The correct option is C Farmers
Tolkappiyam, an early book on Tamil grammar and poetics, was believed to be written by Tolkappiyar. Tolkappiyam actually consists of three books- the Ezhuttadikaram, the Solladikarama and the Poruladikaram. The book divides the society of Sangam age into four castes as Brahmanas, kings, traders and farmers in its third book called Poruladikaram. It also divides the Tamil language into Sentamil and Koduntamil.
