Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D (Bhabru pillar)

भाबू (बैराट) स्तंभ लेख में अशोक ने स्वयं को मगध का सम्राट बताया है। यही अभिलेख अशोक को बौद्ध धर्मावलंबी प्रमाणित करता है।

Bhabru (Bairat) inscription proves Ashoka as Buddhist. In the same inscription, he referred to himself as ‘Piyadasi Raja’ Magadha, i.e. the king of Magadha.
