How did the caste system create permanent divisions between castes?

Answer
A
People in higher castes were not allowed to do hard labor.
B
People in the lower castes were not allowed to make money.
C
People could not move between classes in the caste system.
D
People in the merchant class were always wealthier than other castes.

Explanation

The caste system assigned people to a social group by birth, and they could not move into a different caste. This made the divisions permanent across generations. Choice C, “People could not move between classes in the caste system,” describes this restriction; the other choices do not explain why caste divisions lasted.
