answer: they formed monasteries run by monks and nuns

Step-by-step explanation:

- Brahmansim is a separate sacrificial religion that emerged in post-Vedic India under the power of the brahmans and is considered to be an early development of Hinduism.

- The Buddhist did not spread Hinduism throughout India because it was spread by followers of Hinduism. Hinduism mostly spread throughout India by Hindu merchants/ traders and through contagious diffusion.

- Buddhism does not outlaw all other religions. Buddhism actually allows its followers to follow multiple religions, it is not uncommon for Buddhists to also follow religions such as Islam.

- Buddhists DID form monasteries run by monks and nuns as early as the first century and they continued to form in areas associated with Buddhism. Buddhists created monasteries as a way to value, continue his teachings, follow, and honor the Buddha after his earlier death (his date/year of death is debated).

hope this helps :)
