A Correct answer
Explanation

Emperor Ashoka was deeply moved by the massive death and destruction in the Kalinga War (261 BCE). This brutality led him to renounce violence, embrace Buddhism, and adopt the policy of Dhamma. Pataliputra was his capital, Paanipat and Kurukshetra were sites of other important battles but not this transformative one.
