The correct answer to the question is option 1 - Shivaji. Shivaji, a Maratha warrior and ruler, applied the concept of guerrilla warfare in India in the 17th century. Guerrilla warfare is a strategy that involves unconventional tactics such as ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, and sabotage to fight against a stronger opponent. Shivaji used this tactic effectively against the Mughal Empire and other rival powers in the region. His guerrilla warfare techniques helped him establish an independent Maratha kingdom and resist the Mughal rule. It allowed his forces to disrupt the enemy`s supply lines, gather intelligence, and launch surprise attacks, giving them an advantage in the battlefield. Shivaji`s efforts in guerrilla warfare are considered instrumental in shaping the history of India.
