{'tipu sultan': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'lord cornwallis': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'lord wellesley': [2, 1, 0, 2], 'lord hastings': [6, 2, 4, 1], 'lord dalhousie': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'english forces': [0, 0, 2, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2, Lord Wellesley. Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in South India, died while fighting against the English forces led by Lord Wellesley.

Option 1, Lord Cornwallis, is incorrect. Lord Cornwallis was a British general and statesman, but he was not directly involved in the battle against Tipu Sultan.

Option 3, Lord Dalhousie, is also incorrect. Lord Dalhousie was the Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856, which was after the time of Tipu Sultan`s death.

Option 4, Lord Hastings, is also incorrect. Lord Hastings was the Governor-General of India from 1813 to 1823, which was before the time of Tipu Sultan`s death.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Lord Wellesley, as he led the English forces against Tipu Sultan and was involved in his demise.
