Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Because of the association in the Dipavamsa, the title “Priyadasi” is thought to have been used by the Indian Emperor Ashoka (r. 269-233 BCE) in his inscriptions (the Edicts of Ashoka). In inscriptions, the title “Priyadarsin” is often associated with the title “Devanampriya” ("Beloved of the Gods").
Detailed explanation-2: -King Ashoka claimed to be the “Love of the Gods” (Devanampiya). In 1915, British gold mining engineer C. Beadon found an inscription in Maski, a village in the Raichur district of Karnataka, which confirmed the identification of Devanampiya and Ashoka. Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
