Answer: C. to arrest the advances of foreigners’ infiltration in India.

Answer: (c)

Complete sentence: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj built naval force to arrest the advances of foreigners’ infiltration in India.

He realised that the Portuguese, English, Dutch and the Siddis were powerful at sea and threatened the Konkan coast, so he built a navy and sea forts such as Sindhudurg and Vijaydurg.
