Answer 1

Hint: There were four military confrontations between the British and the rulers of Mysore in India. Then, the English and French corporations sued for peace in India when the first Carnatic War began in Europe and asked their respective home governments accordingly. In the First Anglo-Afghan War, there is widespread opinion among historians that the British bagged a military setback.

Complete answer:
From \[1839\] to \[1842\], the First Anglo-Afghan War was waged between the British East India Company and Afghanistan. It is notable for the loss of \[4,500\] British and Indian troops to Afghan tribal troops, plus \[12,000\] of their camp members, but in the final engagement, the British beat the Afghans. It was one of the first major clashes between Britain and Russia during the Great Game, the \[{19^{th}}\] century struggle for control and dominance in Central Asia. The First Carnatic War \[\left( {1746 - 1748} \right)\] was the Austrian Succession War's Indian theatre and the first of a series of Carnatic Wars that formed early British control on the Indian subcontinent's east coast.
The First Anglo-Mysore War \[\left( {1767-1769} \right)\] between the Sultanate of Mysore and the East India Company was a dispute in India. In part, the war was instigated by the machinations of Asaf Jah II, Hyderabad's Nizam, who attempted to distract the capital of the corporation from efforts to seize control of the Northern Circars.
The First Anglo-Maratha War \[\left( {1775 - 1782} \right)\] was the first of the three Anglo-Maratha wars between the Maratha Dynasty and the British East India Company in India. The war started with the Surat Treaty and ended with the Salbai Treaty.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:The First Anglo-Mysore War, between the Sultanate of Mysore and the East India Company, was a conflict in India. In part, the war was instigated by the machinations of Asaf Jah II, Hyderabad's Nizam and the war began in January \[1767\], when the Marathas invaded northern Mysore, probably expecting movements by the Nizam.
