In Hinduism, a person's dharma -or set of spiritual duties and obligations- is based on their caste and station in life.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

In Hinduism, Dharama is a moral code of conduct which prescribes the principles of religion, social obligations, rituals, social laws, etc. It is believed that dharma is tool for achieving liberation or moksha from the cycle of birth and death.

Dharama or social obligations are essentially based on one’s caste and station in life but the concept of Dharma was first revealed in Vedas. The concept of sva-dharma was essentially explained in Bhagavad Gita which implies that every person has his own Dharama.
