The correct option is D None of the above

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Third Battle of Panipat took place on 14 January 1761 at Panipat, between the Maratha Empire and the invading Afghan army (of Ahmad Shah Durrani), supported by four Indian allies, the Rohillas under the command of Najib-ud-daulah, Afghans of the Doab region, and the Nawab of Awadh, Shuja-ud-Daula.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Although the Maratha empire was destabilized for about 10 years, in 1771, Peshwa Madhavrao sent a large Maratha army into North India in an expedition that was meant to re-establish the Maratha domination in North India.
