Solution

The correct option is B Deshmukhs
Shivaji created a stable kingdom with the support of powerful warrior families called the 'Deshmukhs'. He built a formidable army consisting of a group of peasant pastoralists - or cattle herders - called the Kunbis. Using this army, he challenged the Mughals who were trying to gain control of the Deccan.
