Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Dasa Karmakara
Some men and women, like the dasa karmakara, were forced to labour in other people's crops in order to make a living because they were landless.
- Grama Bhojaka was the term used to refer to the village headman in the northern region of the country.
- For decades, men from the same family often held the role.
- The largest landowner was frequently the grama bhojaka.
- Other independent farmers, referred to as grihapatis, existed in addition to the grama bhojaka; the majority of these farmers had smaller plots of land.
