Which of these explains why there is greater variation in the teachings of buddhism than in those of hinduism? a. the societies in which buddhism took root were polytheistic, and siddhartha gautama's texts spoke of several gods as being equal. consequently, different buddhist societies chose different gods as their supreme gods. b. the founding principles of hinduism encouraged variation in its teachings among different societies. accordingly, several different varieties of hinduism developed. c. siddhartha gautama never wrote down his teachings. in contrast, a large body of sacred texts underlies hindu beliefs and traditions. there is therefore less variation in hinduism's teachings than in those of buddhism. d. siddhartha gautama's writings allowed buddhists to choose one god among five as their supreme god, which led to the development of five major variants of buddhism. hinduism's sacred texts, on the other hand, identify a single supreme god (brahma) whom all hindus are to worship above all other gods.
