B .  Only 2
C .  Both 1 and 2
D .  Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
Shiva Ji innovated military tactics, pioneering the guerrilla warfare methods (Shiva sutra or ganimi kava), which leveraged strategic factors like geography, speed, and surprise and focused pinpoint attacks to defeat his larger and more powerful enemies.
Shivaji himself constructed about 15-20 new forts (including key sea forts like Sindhudurg), but he also rebuilt or repaired many strategically placed forts to create a chain of 300 or more, stretched over a thousand kilometers across the rugged crest of the Western Ghats.
