B Correct answer
Explanation

Ashoka's dhamma (dharma) was centered on peace, non-violence (ahimsa), and moral conduct as ethical principles for both rulers and citizens. After the brutal Kalinga War, Ashoka embraced Buddhism and promoted these values through his edicts and policies. While religious tolerance was part of his approach, peace and non-violence were the core pillars.
