Solution

The correct option is A 1772
Lieutenant Colonel Bon Jour from the East India Company along with The Nawab of Arcot raided Kalaiyar Kovil in 1772. The raid was carried out because Muthu Vadugar refused to pay revenue to the company. Unfortunately, he was killed during this raid. Velunachiyar and her daughter escaped after that.
