Explanation: The feature that was not an aspect of Buddhism is:
(a) Divine intervention was necessary in the process of obtaining salvation.
Buddhism does not emphasize or rely on divine intervention for obtaining salvation or liberation. Instead, Buddhism emphasizes individual effort and self-transformation through the practice of the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom. The path to liberation in Buddhism is based on personal understanding, realization, and the cultivation of wholesome qualities rather than dependence on divine intervention.
