Correct Answer: first sermon


Solution : The correct option is the first sermon.

Emperor Ashoka first constructed the Lion Capital in Sarnath, which is currently the National Emblem of India. It was constructed to commemorate the site of the first sermon that the Buddha is said to have delivered after achieving enlightenment. This is called the "Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta" or the "First Sermon of Lord Buddha".
