Solution

The correct option is C Dupleix
The First Carnatic War (1744-48) was triggered by the War of the Austrian Succession. Dupleix was the french Governor-General of Pondicherry during the war. In September 1746, the French captured the Madras almost without any opposition and the British were made prisoners of war. The war finally ended in 1748 with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.
