Solution

The correct option is B Shaistakhan
During Shivaji's battle with Siddi Jahur, Aurangzeb ascended the Mughal Throne. He sent Shaista Khan, a Sardar of the Mughal to invade Pune while Shivaji Maharaj was trapped at Panhala fort. This made Shivaji realise that it was difficult to engage in two different battles and entered an agreement with the Adilshahis.
