Answer 2

Answer: B. He began following Buddhist values

Ashoka (also Asoka or Ashoka the Great) was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, who ruled India from ca. 268 to 232 BCE.

Ashoka led a deadly and destructive war against the state of Kalinga, in modern day Odisha. He succeeded and captured the region ca. 260 BCE. The Edicts of Ashoka claim that after the war, the emperor was full of regret over the mass deaths he caused. This led him to convert to Buddhism and to work to spread its values.
