Solution

The correct option is B 1799
Lord Wellesley annexed some Indian territories under the subsidiary alliance system. Mysore did not accept this till Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore passed away while fighting the last Anglo-Mysore war against the British. Mysore was then annexed into the British colony in 1799 CE.
