Answer:

c. both believe in the idea of karma, but buddhism believes that doing bad means bad won't happen

Step-by-step explanation:

Karma is the universal principle of cause and effect which both Hindus and Buddhists believe govern all levels of consciousness. They both believe that the effect of Karma could take place in this life or the next (reincarnation)

However, Buddhists believe that Karma is not synonymous with fate or destiny because even if you do something bad, it does not mean that something bad or negative will occur to you as a way of balancing things which is quite different from the Hinduistic belief of Karma that believes that every action you take, good or bad will find a way of coming back to you.
