Correct Answer: Coastal Odisha


Solution : The correct option is Coastal Odisha .

The area known as Kalinga, which was notably subjugated by Emperor Ashoka in the third century BCE, is equivalent to the State of Odisha that exists today on India's eastern coast. The battle of Kalinga, which took place about 261 BCE, affected Ashoka's life and rule. Ashoka was profoundly influenced by the cruelty and carnage of the Kalinga War.
