D Correct answer
Explanation

Shahu was released by Bahadur Shah I in 1707, but he was not granted the right to collect Chauth or Sardeshmukhi at that time. Furthermore, Bahadur Shah I did not recognize him as the sovereign, and Shahu faced significant opposition from Tarabai upon his return. Thus, none of the provided statements are accurate.
