Answer 1

The correct answer is the second option - Caste.

The Caste system is kind of social stratification system in which the people retain their social standing in the type of caste they have been born into for the rest of their lives. They are ascribed the caste status from the time of their birth and they cannot change their social standings.

The Caste system has caused a lot of discrimination amongst the people and they believe that marrying in the same caste will retain their prosperity and carry over their genes in the same social standings.
