Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Buddhism rejects a caste system and focuses on meditation.

One way in that Buddhism differs from Hinduism is "Buddhism rejects a caste system and focuses on meditation."

People that follow the teachings of Buddha respect the following principles, better known as the Four Noble Truths. Dukkha or the truth of suffering. Samudaya or the truth of the origin of the suffering. Nirodha or the truth of the cessation of suffering. And Magga or the truth of the path of the cessation of suffering.

Answer 2

B. Buddhism rejects a caste system and focuses on meditation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Historically, Hinduism has not been a universal religion, on the contrary, it is the national religion of the people of India. Therefore it has structured Indian society in a caste system for millennia. Unlike Hinduism, Buddhism, which started as a branch of Hinduism in the 5th century BCE, is a universal religion open to everyone who wants to practice it. In this sense, Buddhism has always rejected the caste system, that is a central aspect of Hinduism, and focuses on meditation and spiritual practices in order to end human suffering and achieve an ultimate state of inner peace known as Nirvana.
