The war was fought between Ahmed Sha Abdali of the Durrani empire, Afghanistan, and Maratha ruler Sadashiv Rao with the support of the Mughals. However, Durrani got support from the Rohillas of the Doab and Shuja-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Awadh. On the other hand, the Marathas failed to get support from the Rajputs, Jats or the Sikhs. This leads to the victory of Afghans over the numerically strong Maratha army.

Answer(b)
Characterized by cold, dry winters and warm, wet summers. Winter temperatures is below freezing point and snowfall is quite natural.
Rainfall occurs throughout the year with summer maxima [easterly winds from the oceans bring rains]. Annual rainfall ranges from 75 to 150 cm [two–thirds of rainfall occurs in the summer]. Dry Westerlies that blow from continental interiors dominate winters.
In the southern hemisphere, only a small section of continents extends south of 40°S latitude. Some of these small sections come under the rain-shadow region of the Andes (Patagonia) and hence Westerlies hardly ever reach these regions. So, these regions are subjected to aridity rather than continentality. In other regions, the oceanic influence is so profound that neither the continental nor the eastern margin type of climate exists.
