Solution

The correct option is D They saw Marathas as people belonging to other religions.
Some of the local rulers of the North remained neutral and did not support the Marathas because they did not like Maratha supremacy and their interventions in the Delhi court. Some of the orthodox sects in the North saw Marathas as people belonging to other religions and actively persuaded Abdali to invade India, hoping he would defeat the Marathas and drive them South, beyond the river Narmada.
