Respuesta :

Answer:

D. caste system

Explanation:

In india, the caste system is the social stratification that separate people based on their occupation. People with a certain type of occupation are considered to have higher social status compared to the other.

In general, the Caste system was divided into:

- Brahmin (priests/Academics)

- Ksahtrya (Warriors / Rulers)

- Vaishya (merchants / Landowners)

- Sudra (commoners, servants, /peasants)

This system might not exclusively enforced in modern India, but some characteristics of it might still be applicable to determine a person's  social status. If you want to  "move up" from the lower caste status, it can be done by changing one means of living and increasing your economic power.
