A Correct answer
Explanation

Vyankoji (or Ekoji) Bhosale was Shivaji's stepbrother, the son of Shahaji Bhosale from his second wife Tukabai. Vyankoji ruled the Thanjavur kingdom and maintained a complex relationship with Shivaji, including territorial disputes. While they were half-brothers sharing the same father, 'stepbrother' is technically less precise than 'half-brother,' but the answer is historically correct as Vyankoji was indeed a sibling from Shahaji's second marriage.
