Solution

The correct option is C Kharavela
From the beginning of his rule, Kharvela became a patron of Jainism and did whatever he could do to promote Jainism. As he was a follower of Jainism by birth, he maintained the glory of Jainism during his conquest also. His Hathigumpha description described his devotion towards Jainism. This inscription also contained several sacred symbols of Jainism.
