Discussion
In Buddhist educational tradition, in order to become a 'Guru', the person had to undergo through following series :
Answer: D
The series is Shraman, Bhikkhu, Upadhyaya.
In the Buddhist monastic system, a young entrant was first admitted through the pabbajja ceremony as a shramana (novice). After years of training, the upasampada ceremony made him a full bhikkhu (monk). A bhikkhu of long standing and learning, traditionally after at least ten years, could serve as an upadhyaya, the preceptor who guided novices.
'Brahmachari' belongs to the Vedic ashrama system, and 'Pravin', 'Pandit' and 'Shravak' are not the Buddhist monastic stages in this order.
