Answer 1

The correct option is B <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> the Marathas would protect the Mughal Empire from certain enemies

The Mughals were forced to seek the help of the Marathas in order to defend against an attack by Ahmadshah Abdali. So they entered into a treaty in 1752 that ensured that the Marathas would protect the Mughals from enemies like the Rohillas, Jats, Rajputs, and the Afghans.
