To answer the first question, you need to understand the social hierarchy in ancient Indian society known as the Varna system.

The Varna system classified people into four social groups or varnas, based on their occupation and societal roles. The four varnas were Brahmins, Kshatrias, Vaisyas, and Sudras.

Brahmins were the highest social group and consisted of priests, scholars, and teachers. They were responsible for performing religious rituals and often held positions of authority.

Kshatrias were the second-highest social group and comprised warriors and rulers. They held the responsibility of protecting society and governing as leaders and rulers.

Vaisyas were the third social group and were mainly involved in agriculture, trade, and business. They were considered the common people who engaged in economic activities.

Sudras were the lowest social group and performed various types of manual labor. They supported the higher social groups in their day-to-day lives.

Thus, the social group consisting of warriors and rulers in the Varna system is referred to as "Kshatrias" (option C).

Regarding the second question, the Vaisyas were the common people who engaged in various economic activities such as agriculture, trade, and business. So, the correct answer is option A.
