Answer 1

a. class status in India is an individual achievement

Step-by-step explanation:

She observed that In India, the class status is divided based on the occupation that the people held. The social class in India is divided into 4 classes. The lowest class is held by the servants, the third lowest cast is held by traders/merchants, the second highest cast is held by the warriors and rulers, and the highest class is held by intellectuals and religious leaders.

Since people's occupation can changed based on their efforts , she argued that class status in India could be considered an individual achievement/.
