{'emperor ashoka': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'chandalika': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'gautami': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'karuwaki': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'charulata': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'wife': [2, 3, 2, 2]}
The correct answer is option 4, Karuwaki. Karuwaki was one of the wives of Emperor Ashoka and she had a significant influence on him. She is mentioned in Ashoka`s rock edicts and is believed to have been a commoner before marrying him. Karuwaki`s influence on Ashoka is evident in the fact that he built the famous Sanchi Stupa in her honor. This stupa is considered one of the finest examples of Ashokan architecture and reflects the Buddhist ideals that were deeply ingrained in Karuwaki`s beliefs. It is important to note that the other options listed, Chandalika, Charulata, and Gautami, were not wives of Emperor Ashoka and did not have a direct influence on his reign.
