Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The correct matches are determined by the geographical distribution of Ashokan inscriptions across the Indian subcontinent:

  • Jaugada: This site is located in the Ganjam district of Odisha (not Karnataka). It contains a set of Ashokan Major Rock Edicts, including the two 'Separate Edicts' similar to those found at Dhauli.
  • Bahapur: Also known as the Srinivaspuri or Kalkaji Rock Edict, it is a Minor Rock Edict located in New Delhi. It was discovered in 1966.
  • Rajula-Mandagiri: This is a Minor Rock Edict located in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. It is situated near other important sites like Erragudi.

Since pair 1 is incorrectly matched while pairs 2 and 3 are correct, the correct option is D.
