A
Correct answer
Explanation
Shivaji was born in 1627 AD at Shivner Fort near Junnar in Pune district. This is the historically accepted birth year based on contemporary records and accounts. The year 1640 AD would make him too young to have achieved his documented conquests by the 1650s, and 1776 AD is clearly incorrect as it's after his death.
