C
Correct answer
Explanation
Shirval-Subhanmangal (near Pune) was Shivaji Maharaj's first military victory at age 16 in 1646. Torana Fort was his first fort conquest (also 1646), but the Shirval battle preceded the Torana fort capture. The question asks for battle/fort won, making Shirval-Subhanmangal the chronologically first victory.
