Protectors of the society.

• A. Philosophical Class
• B. Warrior Class
• C. Paedagogus
• D. Paidonomus

Answer: (B)

In a society organized into specialized roles, the group charged with defending the community and maintaining law and order are the protectors. This Warrior Class takes on military duties, enforces discipline, and safeguards citizens and property from external threats and internal unrest. The other groups have different functions: the Philosophical Class governs with wisdom, guiding laws and policy; Paedagogus and Paidonomus are tied to education—overseeing the training and moral development of the young to become contributing citizens. Since the prompt describes protectors, the Warrior Class is the best fit because that role embodies defense, security, and guardianship of the society.
