Correct Answer: Shudra
Solution : The correct option is Shudra.
The three varnas—Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas—were principally linked to the "Upanayana Samskara" ceremony throughout the later Vedic era. For young males from these varnas, the Upanayana ceremony, also called the holy thread ceremony, was an initiation process. Traditionally, the Shudras were the varna who were not eligible for the Upanayana Samskara during the later Vedic period.
