Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation
All three statements are historically correct. Statement I: Balaji Vishwanath helped the Sayyid brothers overthrow Farrukh Siyar in 1719. Statement II: In 1751, during the tenure of Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao (Nana Saheb), the Nawab of Bengal (Alivardi Khan) ceded Orissa to the Marathas. Statement III: Peshwa Madhav Rao I defeated Hyder Ali of Mysore multiple times (1764–1772), compelling him to pay tribute and cede territories (confirmed by Bipan Chandra's NCERT). Since all statements are true, the correct answer must include I, II, and III. Option A is incomplete.
