B Correct answer
Explanation

Veer Shiva Kashid is the correct answer as he voluntarily sacrificed himself in 1660 to facilitate Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's escape from the siege of Panhalgad. He posed as Shivaji to deceive the enemy forces and was killed, allowing the real Shivaji to escape. Bajiprabhu Deshpande made a similar sacrifice later at the Battle of Ghod Khind, while Jeeva Mahale was Shivaji's personal bodyguard. Tanaji Malusare is famous for the Battle of Sinhagad.
