Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Celibacy

- Ashoka's Dhamma, or ethical code, focused on principles like compassion, non-violence (ahimsa), respect for all life, truthfulness, and tolerance towards all religions.
- His Dhamma emphasized moral living, the welfare of all beings, and social harmony rather than renunciation or celibacy.
- Ashoka promoted kindness to animals, care for the elderly, and ethical behavior in society, encouraging peaceful coexistence and righteousness among his people rather than celibate practices.
