Correct answer
Explanation
Rajasuya Yagna was the imperial consecration ceremony performed by ancient kings to establish their supremacy over other rulers. In the Mahabharata, Yudhisthira performed this yagna after the Kurukshetra war to formally declare himself as the emperor (Samrat). Ashwamedha Yagna was also an imperial ceremony but the Rajasuya was specifically for establishing imperial position.
