A
Correct answer
Explanation
After winning the Kurukshetra war, Yudhishthira performed the Ashwamedha Yagna (horse sacrifice) to establish his imperial sovereignty over all kingdoms. This ancient Vedic ritual involved releasing a sacred horse to roam freely for a year, with kings either accepting Yudhishthira's supremacy or facing his army. Rajasuya was performed earlier before the war.
