B Correct answer
Explanation

Emperor Ashoka converted to Buddhism after the Kalinga War (261 BCE), which caused massive destruction and loss of life. The horror of war transformed him, and he became a Buddhist ruler who promoted peace, dharma, and religious tolerance. Option A (Kalinga) is the kingdom he conquered, not his name.
