Answer: (A), (C)

He was a disciple of the Sri Krishna panth.

Chaitanya lived in Mathura and Brindavan. He neither organised a sect nor wrote any religious works, he entrusted this work to his disciples. He followed the Sri Krishna panth. He condemned the caste system and preached that it can be removed by discipline and that one’s heart becomes pure through devotion.
