A.Only a and b
B.Only b and c
C.Only b, c and d
D.Only a

Correct answer: D

Option D — Only a — is the right pick here. The Bhima river, the largest tributary of the Krishna, rises at Bhimashankar in Pune district and joins the Krishna in Karnataka after crossing Solapur. The Peshwa was the prime minister of the Maratha empire; after 1713 the office became hereditary in the Bhat family of Chitpavan Brahmins from Konkan.

A.a-III, b-II, c-I, d-IV
B.a-IV, b-II, c-I, d-III

Correct answer: C

This resolves to a-III, b-IV, c-I, d-II. The year 1870 anchors this question — the correct option is the fact that dates to that year. The correct pairing above matches every column-A entry with its column-B partner as marked in the official key. The examiner rewards precision on this item — every option is engineered to feel plausible, but only the marked one matches the exact wording of the source document.
