Solution

The correct option is D Brahmanas
During the later Vedic period, simple religious ceremonies turned to be more and more complex. Ordinary people could no longer perform these ceremonies themselves. One varna rose to great prominence- the Brahmanas, as their presence became instrumental in performing various religious practices.
