Answer: A. oppose the Portuguese.

Answer: (a) oppose the Portuguese.

Completed sentence: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj levied octroi on the salt trade to oppose the Portuguese.

Salt from Portuguese territory was sold cheaply in Swarajya and harmed local salt producers. Shivaji Maharaj levied a heavy duty on it, which was a step against the Portuguese and protected the local trade.
