A) Emperor Ashoka B) have conquered Kalinga
C) before he embraced Buddhism. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) have conquered Kalinga

Explanation:

Error is in second part. Replace ‘have’ with ‘had’. Since two events are mentioned and both occurred in the past, the even that happened first will be expressed in past perfect tense. Hence ‘had conquered’ is the correct form.
