C .  Devraja
D .  Priyadarsi
Answer: Option D Answer: (d) The rock inscriptions of Devanampriya Priyadarshi were being discovered all over India for centuries. But for a long time, the identity of this ‘Devanampriya Priyadarshi’ remained a puzzle. In the year 1915 near a village called Maski in Raichur District of Karnataka, a rock inscription was discovered on a hill. In this inscription, for the first time, the name of Ashoka was found with titles like Devanampriya and Priyadarshi. It was then certain that Devanampriya Priyadarshi was no other than Ashoka.
