Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The options (1) Brahmanas, (2) Kshatriyas and (4) Vaishyas are three of these four varnas.
3. "Samiti" was not a varna; it refers to a general assembly or council (an institution, like the Sabha/Samiti), not a social class.

Therefore the item that was NOT a Varna is (3) Samiti, i.e. option c.
