Option A is the correct answer. 

The passage describes a tense scene with Shivaji dismounting, running, and giving a signal for cannons, with his kurta torn and drenched in blood. These details strongly suggest a violent and chaotic setting, consistent with a battlefield.

There are no indications of celebration (e.g., joy, festivities), physical exercise (e.g., training, routine movements), or religious rituals (e.g., prayers, ceremonies) ruling out options B,C and D.
