B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'Prime Minister' because under Shivaji's administration, the Peshwa was the highest-ranking official after the king himself, equivalent to a modern Prime Minister. The Peshwa was responsible for managing the administration, overseeing military campaigns, and handling diplomatic affairs - essentially functioning as the head of government.
