Solution

The correct option is A It is based on language, religion, caste
Social division takes place when some social differences overlap with each other. In India social division is based on language, religion, and caste. In our country Dalits tends to be poor and landless. They often face discrimination and injustice. If we worship or follow a god or goddess then also we face discrimination. We often face discrimination on the way we speak in various parts of our country.
