Answer 2

The answer is C, the cast system decided what Jobs people could do.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were in a certain cast, you could never go up and be a higher cast. For example if you were the son of a farmer, you would always be a farmer and same for your kids. If you were a nobility, you would always be a nobility, however you could go down the cast system but never up.
