Option d is the correct answer. The Ashokan inscriptions in Afghanistan are written in the Greek-Aramaic script. Emperor Ashoka, during the 3rd century BCE, commissioned these inscriptions as part of his efforts to spread Buddhist teachings and principles. While most of Ashoka's inscriptions in India are written in Brahmi script, the inscriptions found in Afghanistan, specifically in places like Kandahar and Laghman, are in Greek-Aramaic script. This indicates the presence and influence of Greek and Aramaic-speaking communities in those regions during that time.
