Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

There are several similarities between Hinduism and Buddhism but the key difference between them is that Buddhism rejects the numerous Hindu gods.

Hinduism is known as an Indian religion, or way of life, that is widely practiced across the Indian subcontinent and several other parts of Asia. Hinduism has been recognized as one of the oldest religion and some scholars refer it as Sanātana Dharma or "the eternal tradition".

Buddhism mostly encompasses several traditions, spiritual practices and beliefs that are mainly based on teachings and principles attributed to Lord Buddha and thus their resulting interpreted statements.
