Solution

The correct option is B Tipu Sultan
Explanation:

Tipu Sultan got at the helm of Mysore state in 1782 and he is considered as one of the ablest native Indian rulers during the British period. He was very much inspired by the ideas of the French Revolution and thus planted a tree of liberty in his capital Srirangapatna and also became a member of the Jacobin club. He was one of the few Indian rulers who foresee the British threat and took steps to modernize his armed forces.
