The correct option is A Balaji Vishwanath
Balaji Vishwanath is described as 'the second founder of Maratha empire'. Balaji Viswanath was the first Peshwa. Shahu appointed Balaji Vishwanath as Peshwa on 16 November 1713. He assisted the Maratha Emperor Shahu to consolidate his grip on a kingdom that was damaged by the attacks of the Mughals which earned him the title.
