B .  Gnathrika
C .  Koliya
D .  Shakya
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Siddhartha’s caste was the Kshatriya. He belonged to the Shakya clan and was born in the royal family. His father was Suddhodana and his mother was Maya.
Because of this, he was known as Shakyamuni “sage of the Shakya clan”, which is the most common name used in the Mahayana literature to refer to the Buddha.
