Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Aryan religion, as practiced in ancient times, involved rituals that included offerings to fire. Among these offerings, milk and soma (a ritual drink whose exact nature is debated but is often considered to have been a hallucinogenic concoction) were significant. These offerings were made to the gods during the fire sacrifice rituals, known as Yajna, which were central to the Vedic religion, the precursor to Hinduism.
