Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Rock Edict XIII
Major Rock Edict XIII records the conquest of Kalinga, the deaths and deportations that followed, and Ashoka's turn towards dhamma. Edict I prohibits animal sacrifice, Edict V mentions the appointment of dhamma-mahamattas, and Edict XII advocates tolerance among sects, so they do not describe the war.
