Solution

The correct option is C Independent farmers
Apart from the gramabhojaka, there were other independent farmers, known as grihapatis, most of whom were smaller landowners. And then there were men and women such as the dasa karmakara, who did not own land and had to earn a living working on the field owned by others.
