Which of the following sites does not have major rock edicts of the Mauryan King Ashoka ?
Answer: D
The site without major rock edicts is Maski.
Maski, in the Raichur district of Karnataka, has a minor rock edict, famous because it names the king as Ashoka (Devanampiya Asoka), which settled the identity of 'Piyadasi'.
Mansehra (in present-day Pakistan), Jaugada and Dhauli (both in Odisha) carry versions of the fourteen major rock edicts. Dhauli and Jaugada are known for the separate Kalinga edicts that replace two of the usual ones.
