Options

Answer 1

The British refused him the pension of Peshwa Baji Rao II.

Explanation:

According to the doctrine of lapse, Nana Saheb's territory was in jeopardy because he was Baji Rao 2's adopted son. Nana Saheb was denied the pensions that his father, Peshwa Baji Rao II, had received. As a result, he joined the 1857 Revolt.
