Solution
The correct option is C French
The father-son duo of Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan sought help from the French to strengthen their struggle against the British. The rulers from Mysore knew that the British and the French did not see eye to eye and capitalised on this fact. For instance, they used French expertise to improve the quality of traditional Mysore artefacts. Thus, artefacts from Mysore gained a better economic footing in the international market.
