Answer: (d)

Although Asoka embraced Buddhism and took efforts to spread Buddhism, his policy of Dhamma was a still broad concept. It was a way of life, a code of conduct and a set of principles to be adopted and practised by the people at large. His principles of Dhamma were clearly stated in his Edicts.

The main features of Asoka’s Dhamma as mentioned in his various Edicts also include consideration and non-violence to animals and courtesy to relations and liberality to Brahmins; tolerance among all the religious sects; and conquest through Dhamma instead of through war.

Asoka wished that his Dhamma should spread through all social levels.
