General KnowledgeHistory of India
- A1 only
- B1, 2 and 3
- C3 only
- D2 and 3 only
Explanation
Jaugada is an Ashokan inscription site in Odisha (Ganjam district), not Karnataka, so pair 1 is wrongly matched. Bahapur in Delhi is a genuine site of an Ashokan minor rock edict, so pair 2 is correctly matched. Rajula-Mandagiri in Andhra Pradesh is a genuine Ashokan site, so pair 3 is correctly matched. Hence pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
