D Correct answer
Explanation

Under Islamic taxation systems (jizya), Brahmins were often required to pay the highest rates as they were the wealthiest class with the most taxable resources. While some sources mention exemptions, historical records indicate Brahmins typically paid substantial jizya, more than traders, artisans, or disadvantaged groups.
