Explanation

The chronological order of the Maratha Peshwas listed is as follows:

Balaji Vishwanath (1713–1720): He was the first hereditary Peshwa and was instrumental in consolidating the Maratha Empire under Chhatrapati Shahu.
Bajirao I (1720–1740): The son of Balaji Vishwanath, he was a brilliant military commander who expanded Maratha dominance into North India.
Balaji Bajirao (1740–1761): Also known as Nana Saheb, the Maratha Empire reached its greatest territorial extent under his rule, though it suffered a massive defeat at the Third Battle of Panipat (1761).
Madhav Rao I (1761–1772): He succeeded Nana Saheb and is credited with the Maratha Resurrection, restoring the empire's prestige after the Panipat debacle.

Therefore, the correct sequence is 3, 1, 2, 4.
