Solution

The correct option is B 1676
By the year 1676 Shivaji Maharaj gained stronghold in the northern Deccan region by conquering parts of Bijapur and Belgaum (Modern day Karnataka). This paved way for his expedition into the Carnatic or southern region. He conquered the forts of Vellore and Gingee (Modern day tamil Nadu) which proved crucial for future conquests and wars. He signed treaty with Qutubshah of Golconda in order to consolidate his Victories in south and repel Mughal forces.
