Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The First Anglo-Mysore War (1767–1769) was concluded by the Treaty of Madras, signed on April 4, 1769 [1]. The conflict arose when Hyder Ali, the de facto ruler of Mysore, faced a coalition of the British, the Marathas, and the Nizam of Hyderabad. However, Hyder Ali skillfully turned the situation, eventually appearing before the gates of Madras and causing panic among the British authorities [1]. This forced the English to sign a humiliating peace treaty [1]. The terms of the Treaty of Madras included the mutual restitution of conquered territories and the exchange of prisoners [1]. Crucially, the British promised to assist Hyder Ali if he was attacked by any other power, a defensive alliance that later became a point of contention when the British failed to support him against the Marathas in 1771 [1].
