Option d is the correct answer. The name by which Ashoka is referred to in his inscriptions is "Priyadarshi." Priyadarshi means "One who is liked by all". It is generally used in conjunction with Devanampriya which means "beloved of the Gods". It reflects Ashoka's humility and his dedication to spreading ethical and moral teachings through his inscriptions. The term "Priyadarshi" is used in various inscriptions and rock edicts to signify Ashoka's commitment to promoting righteous conduct and his benevolent rule. The various other names of Ashoka include Buddhashakya and Ashoka (in the Maski Edict), Dharmasoka (Sarnath inscription), Devanampiya (meaning beloved of the gods), and Piyadassi (meaning of pleasing appearance), given in the Sri Lankan Buddhist chronicles Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa).
