Answer:

A. converted to Buddhism and encouraged righteous living

Explanation:

Asoka was emperor of the Maurya Empire, the first great unified empire of the Indian subcontinent, in the 3rd century BCE. During the first years of his rule, Asoka was a warrior emperor who conquered new lands through wars and bloodshed. After he witnessed all the destruction and death he occasioned he felt deep remorse and converted to Buddhism. That change shifted his personality and his policies, and he became a totally stable and peaceful ruler and started to spread the teachings of Buddhism and encouraged righteous living throughout India and beyond.
