Solution

The correct option is B Second Anglo-Maratha War
Lord Wellesley defeated the armies of various Maratha families from 1803 to 1805. But, his wish to fight more battles increased the financial burden on the Company. On being criticised for this policy, Lord Wellesley resigned from his post and returned to England.
