Odisha was divided into how many broad political divisions under the Marathas?

Answer: Option C

Odisha was divided into two main political divisions by the Marathas, known as the Mughalbandi and Garhjatareas. The Maratha reign in Odisha lasted about half a century, yet it had a lasting impact on the state's socioeconomic development. They established accurate land records, translated a number of traditional Odia books, and persuaded a number of Kings, Queens, and wealthy Zamindars to gift lands to the Jagannath and other temples. Odisha had a simple judicial and revenue system under the Marathas.
