Solution

The correct option is A Ashoka
Ashoka believed that Buddhism is beneficial for all human beings as well as animals and plants, so he built a number of stupas, Sangharama, viharas, chaitya, and residences for Buddhist monks all over South Asia and Central Asia, among them are Sanchi Stupa, a Buddhist complex, famous for its Great Stupa.
