The correct answer to the question is option 1: Arthur Wellesley.

Arthur Wellesley was a British military officer who achieved significant victories in both India and Europe. He defeated Tipu Sultan in India during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. Tipu Sultan was a ruler in south India who fought against British colonization.

Wellesley`s military skills also earned him a victory against Napoleon Bonaparte, the French emperor, in Europe. He led the British and Allied forces in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, which marked the end of Napoleon`s reign and his Hundred Days` campaign.

Eventually, Wellesley became the Duke of Wellington. This title was bestowed upon him as a mark of honor and recognition for his military achievements. The Duke of Wellington is one of the most prominent titles in the British aristocracy.

In summary, Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington, is the British military officer who defeated Tipu Sultan in India and Napoleon Bonaparte in Europe.
