Answer:

The correct answer is “B". The caste system of India is an example of social grouping based on rank.

Explanation:

The caste system of India divides society into groups and establishes hierarchies among them. The caste system governs the interaction between the members of the society. It is a very complex system that had its origins in religious thought but received great influences from the ways in which society developed during the colonial time. The economic dimension was decisive. The social class in which a person is born determines their status and role in society. The caste system is based on Hinduism and establishes four main classes originating in Indian Vedic society:  

  • Religious or teachers (Brahmins) : They knew the secret rituals for the worship of the gods, they were considered the closest human beings to the gods. They were respected and enjoyed many privileges.
  • Rulers or warriors (Kshatriyas) : They were in charge of the administration of society and the State
  • Craftsmen or merchants (Vaishyas) : They lived in the countryside, directed their slaves to work the land and/or also kept cows.
  • Workers or servants (Shudras) : These people were not paid a salary, but were given food and shelter in exchange for work.

Those who cannot be classified in any category have been called "untouchables" (Dalit).

Answer:

Holocaust.

Explanation:

The<u> Holocaust was the greatest genocide in the history of the world which led to the mass murder of the European Jews in Germany</u>. This <u>mass killing executed under the order of the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler</u> became and will remain one of the most heinous crimes ever carried upon a specific race and ethnicity.

The Kristallnacht or the Crystal Night or Night of the Broken Glass and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are also all forms of discriminatory acts against the Jews. The term <u>"Holocaust" is coined and used as a reference to the mass murder and discriminatory act against the European Jewish </u>people after the end of the war. This genocidal act was carried out in numerous concentration camps and gas chambers, where they are gassed if they are "not up to the mark" or are unhealthy while the good ones are made to work in the camps until they fall sick and die.
