    What is the main reason of Hinduism rejecting Buddhism? 

    • Buddhists priests were considered more holy that Hindu priests

    • Buddhist values were same with Hinduism values

    • Buddhism affected the Caste System.

    Correct Answer
    A. Buddhism affected the Caste System.
    Explanation
    The main reason for Hinduism rejecting Buddhism is that Buddhism affected the Caste System. Hinduism is deeply rooted in the caste system, where individuals are born into specific social groups and their social status is determined by birth. Buddhism, on the other hand, rejected the caste system and emphasized equality and liberation from social divisions. This fundamental difference in ideology threatened the hierarchical structure of Hindu society, leading to the rejection of Buddhism by Hinduism.
