Solution

The correct options are
A No one wanted to carry them and get polluted.
C They belonged to the Mahar community.
D No one from their family had arrived to pick them.
A nine-year-old Ambedkar and his cousins were left stranded at the station while they were going to Koregaon. They were stuck in the station because no one from their family had turned up to pick them. They belonged to the Mahar community which was seen as an impure caste and no one wanted to carry them to their destination because they did not want to get polluted.
