Explanation: In the given statement, it has been told that the availability of evidence helps the historians identify greatness of the king at their time. Statement (A) In this statement it has been said that historians ‘tend’ to correlate the greatness of a king at his time with the availability of evidence today. This means that sculpted evidence is only one of the means to know about the greatness of a king. Hence this statement is wrong. Statement (B) is incorrect as Ashoka, who lived thousands of years ago, must not have produced stone-carved edicts so that later historians will respect him but for the as a socio-cultural token for the contemporary time. Statement (C) is incorrect as the statement not at all mentions ‘Statues of kings’. Statement (D) is correct as it is the past evidence that historians take into account to conclude about their greatness. So it is through the historical remains that historians interpret about the kings’ greatness and it is through their interpretation that we know them.
