Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Rock Edict – XII)

अशोक का बारहवां शिलालेख कहता है कि "सभी संप्रदायों के सार तत्व में वृद्धि हो; क्योंकि सबका मूल संयम ही है। हमें सभी संप्रदायों का आदर करना चाहिए। अतः स्पष्ट है कि बारहवें शिलालेख से धार्मिक संश्लेषण (समन्वय) के बारे में प्रमाण मिलता है।

Major Rock Edict II: This rock edict, describes South Indian Kingdom Chodas (Cholas), Pandyas, Satiyaputta, Keralaputta as well as the Tamraparni and Yavana king named Antiyoka and also the kings who were the neighbours of the Antiyaka. It has also mention of providing medical treatment for human and animals. Major Rock Edict XI: It explains the policy of dhamma and also emphasises on the individuals attitude towards elders and also abstaining from killing animals and being generous towards friends. Rock Edict XII: It directed and made request for tolerance among different religious sects. Major Rock Edict XIII: This rock edict says the way of conquest is dhamma not war. This was logical culmination of the thorough processes which began from the 1st rock edict.
