Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(अयोध्या लेख)
पुष्यमित्र शुंग के वंशज और कौशल के राज्यपाल धनदेव के 'अयोध्या प्रस्तर अभिलेख' से यह ऐतिहासिक जानकारी मिलती है कि सेनापति पुष्यमित्र शुंग ने दो अश्वमेध यज्ञ संपन्न किए थे ('द्विरश्वमेधयाजिनः सेनापतेः पुष्यमित्रस्य')। इन यज्ञों के मुख्य पुरोहित महर्षि पतंजलि थे।
The Ayodhya stone inscription of Dhandeva (governor of Kosala and a descendant of Pushyamitra) epigraphically documents that Senapati Pushyamitra Shunga performed two Ashvamedha (horse sacrifices)—'Dvir-ashvamedha-yajinah senapateh Pushyamitrasya'. The rites were officiated by the grammarian Patanjali.
