Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Epithet of “Devanampriya.”)

अशोक 273 ई.पू. के लगभग मगध के राजसिंहासन पर बैठा तथा 269 ई.पू. के लगभग उसका राज्याभिषेक हुआ। उसके लगभग अभिलेखों में उसे 'देवनामप्रिय' (देवानामपिय), 'देवानां पियदसि' कहा गया है, जिसका अर्थ है-देवताओं का प्रिय या देखने में सुंदर। इससे उसकी हिंदू धर्म में आस्था के संकेत मिलते हैं।

The coronation of Ashoka was held in 269 B.C. He was named as ‘Devanampriya (Devanampiya)’ in his inscription which means beloved of Gods or handsome by looks. This indicates his belief in Hindu religion.
