Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The First Anglo-Maratha War (1775–1782) concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Salbai in May 1782 [5]. The treaty was negotiated between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire, with Mahadji Sindhia playing a key role as a mediator [5]. Under its terms, the British retained possession of Salsette, while territories conquered since the Treaty of Purandhar (1776) were restored to the Marathas [5]. This treaty ensured a period of relative peace between the two powers for twenty years [5]. In contrast, the Second Anglo-Maratha War was triggered by the Treaty of Bassein (1802) [4], and the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817–1818) led to the final dissolution of the Maratha Confederacy [5]. The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799) ended with the fall of Seringapatam and the death of Tipu Sultan.
