The correct answer is D) Buddhists reject the priests, caste system, formal ritual and the many gods of Hinduism. Hinduism is a polytheistic religion, meaning the beliefs in many gods, who all represent different things. With Hinduism, this was where the caste system originated, something very specific to the religion, basically a hierarchy of statuses including only people of the religion. Priests are also very important to Hinduism, while Buddhists refer to their holy men and women as monks.
