A	Hinayan4
B	Vajrayana
C	Lamaism
D	Mahayana

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Mahayana principle of “together with fellow beings” may naturally lead to the vision of the Dharma : The Dharm through which I am truly saved from suffering must be the same Dharma through which all my fellow beings are equally saved, that is, the Dharma that is adequate to all the human beings.

Detailed explanation-2: -For Buddhists, salvation is gained through the understanding of the ways things really are according to the Buddha’s Dharma. Once an individual has become enlightened they can then reach a state of nirvana.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theravada Buddhism is organized around the notion of breaking the cycle of Samsara (escaping reincarnation). Mahayana Buddhism aims to achieve enlightenment through the teachings of the Buddha, but they ultimately choose to stay in Samsara and reincarnate out of compassion for others.
