Correct Answer: Ashoka


Solution : The correct option is Ashoka .

The Mauryan ruler Ashoka's emblem was copied and used by the Government of India. The Ashoka Chakra is India's national symbol. It is a wheel with 24 spokes. The wheel is a symbol of Dharma, the Hindu notion of justice or responsibility. It is also a representation of the Buddhist notion of the Wheel of Law. The Ashoka Lion Capital is the focal point of the national symbol. It is a four-lion capital that was originally positioned atop the Sarnath pillar, which was constructed by Ashoka in the third century BCE. Lions are a sign of strength and power.
