\nThe correct answer is D) Greek-Aramaic.
\n<\/section>\n
\nAshokan inscriptions found in Afghanistan are notably different from those found in other parts of India. Due to the presence of Hellenistic and Achaemenid influences in the region, Ashoka’s edicts in Afghanistan are often found in Greek and Aramaic scripts and languages, sometimes in bilingual or even trilingual formats (though Brahmi is generally absent).
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe most famous example is the Kandahar Bilingual Rock Inscription, which is written in Greek and Aramaic. Other inscriptions in Afghanistan, like the Laghman inscriptions, are in Aramaic. While Kharoshthi script was used for Ashokan inscriptions in the wider North-Western region (parts of modern Pakistan), the use of Greek and Aramaic is particularly characteristic of inscriptions found within modern Afghanistan, reflecting the linguistic landscape of the region at that time. Brahmi was the primary script used for Ashokan inscriptions throughout most of the rest of the Indian subcontinent. Sharada script developed much later.
