Answer:

B - It is the social pyramid that places people based upon their dharma

Step-by-step explanation:

The caste system is a social class system that determines how people live and what they are able to do. Each caste had its own specific occupation, social group, and Dharma. The caste system divides Hindus into four main categories based on who they were in their past life, their karma, and their family. The categories are called Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.
