Explanation:

To solve this, we recall key beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism:

• Hinduism:
• The Vedas (sacred texts) explain Brahman (ultimate reality).
• Has a four - caste (varna) system (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras).
• Belief that everything is part of Brahman (pantheistic view).
• Believes all living beings (animals, plants) have souls (atman).
• Has the concept of Trimurti (one god, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, with three faces/forms).

• Buddhism:
• Nirvana is the state of eternal peace/end of suffering.
• The Eightfold Path is the guide to end suffering and achieve enlightenment.
