How did Aryan culture explain the use of the caste system?

Answer
A
The Aryans believed that religion determined a person’s caste.
B
The Aryans believed that caste placement was dependent on education.
C
The Aryans believed each person was born into a specific varna, or social class.
D
The Aryans believed each person should be placed into a caste by their local chief.

Explanation

Aryan society organized people into varnas, or social classes, and caste status was understood to be inherited at birth. Therefore, the correct choice is that each person was born into a specific varna. Religion, education, or a local chief did not determine a person's caste placement in this explanation.
