Solution
The correct option is C Baji Rao II
The Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817–1818)
was the final and decisive conflict between the British East India Company
(EIC) and the Maratha Empire in India. Peshwa Baji Rao II’s forces, supported
by those of Mudhoji II Bhonsle of Nagpur and Malharrao Holkar III of Indore,
rose against the EIC. Pressure and diplomacy convinced the fourth major Maratha
leader, Daulatrao Shinde of Gwalior, to remain neutral even though he lost
control of Rajasthan.
