The correct answer is option 4 - Tipu Sultan. Tipu Sultan was a ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in South India during the late 18th century. He played a significant role in the development and modernization of his kingdom. One of his notable contributions was the introduction of sericulture as an agro-industry.

Sericulture refers to the cultivation of silk and the breeding of silkworms for the production of silk fibers. Tipu Sultan recognized the potential of sericulture and implemented measures to promote its growth in his kingdom. He established silk farms and encouraged the local population to engage in sericulture activities.

It is important to carefully analyze the options provided in a multiple-choice question and choose the most appropriate one based on the given context.
