The correct answer is option 3, 1761 A.D. The Third Battle of Panipat was a major historical event that took place in India. It was fought between the Marathas, led by their commander-in-chief, Sadashiv Rao Bhau, and the Durrani Empire, led by their king, Ahmad Shah Durrani. The battle took place on January 14, 1761, near the city of Panipat in present-day Haryana. It resulted in a decisive victory for the Durrani Empire. The battle is significant because it marked the beginning of the decline of the Maratha Empire and the rise of British influence in India. It also caused immense loss of life and led to political instability in the region.
