Solution

The correct option is B Balaji Baji Rao
Baji Rao's 18-year old son Balaji Baji Rao, known more widely as Nana Saheb, was the Peshwa from 1740 to 1761. He was as able as his father though less energetic. He further extended the empire in different directions, taking Maratha power to its height.
