The correct option is B 1761-1772
Madhava Rao became Peshwa of Maratha empire during trying times after the defeat in Third battle of Panipat and death of Peshwa Nana Saheb due to depression of this defeat in 1761.

His untimely demise due to tuberculosis proved fatal to the dream of Pan India Maratha empire.
