Option 1: Lord Cornwallis

Lord Cornwallis was a British general who served as the Governor-General of India from 1786 to 1793. However, he had no direct involvement in the battle in which Sultan Tipu died. So, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2: Lord Wellesley

Lord Wellesley, also known as Marquess Wellesley, was the Governor-General of India from 1798 to 1805. He was involved in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, in which Sultan Tipu fought against the British forces. So, option 2 is correct.

Option 3: Lord Dalhousie

Lord Dalhousie was the Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856, which is several decades after the death of Sultan Tipu. He was not involved in any conflicts with Tipu, so option 3 is incorrect.

Option 4: Lord Hastings

Lord Hastings served as the Governor-General of India from 1813 to 1823, also after the death of Sultan Tipu. Therefore, option 4 is incorrect.

In conclusion, option 2 (Lord Wellesley) is the correct answer as he was directly involved in the battle against Sultan Tipu
