Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct match is Option B: A - 2 - II - (iv).
- Ashoka (A) fought the famous Kalinga War (2) in 261 BCE.
- He belonged to the Maurya Dynasty (II).
- After the Kalinga war, he renounced violence and dedicated his life to the spread of Dharma, ahimsa (non-violence), and welfare activities (iv).
Why other options are incorrect:
- Samudragupta (B) belonged to the Gupta Dynasty (IV) and fought against several rulers of Northern and Southern India (1), but he was known for political conquest (ii). The 4th Buddhist Council (iii) was organized by Kanishka, making Options C and D incorrect.
