Solution

The correct option is C To describe the good deeds of a king.
Prashastis were always made to glorify the king, and they also describe the royal ancestral history of the king. Prashastis were generally made by the court poets of the king. Prashasti is literally connected to the word prashansa, which also means in praise of the king.
