The correct answer is Option B (The Battle of Wandiwash).

Key Points:
• The Battle of Wandiwash (1760):
• The Third Carnatic War (1758–1763) between the British and the French in India culminated decisively in the Battle of Wandiwash on 22 January 1760 in Tamil Nadu.
• In 1758, the French commander Count de Lally captured the British Fort St. David at Cuddalore.
• Subsequently, Lally attempted to besiege Madras but failed completely due to naval reinforcement by the British under Admiral Pocock.
• On 22 January 1760, the British forces led by General Sir Eyre Coote comprehensively defeated the French army under Count de Lally and captured Marquis de Bussy.
• This decisive defeat permanently ended French political and military dominance in India, reducing them to minor commercial outposts under the Treaty of Paris (1763).
• Key Takeaway: The Battle of Wandiwash (1760) ended French political ambitions in India after Eyre Coote defeated Count de Lally.
