Correct answer: A
Answer: The First Anglo–Mysore War (1767–1769) was fought between Hyder Ali and the British East India Company. Key points: Hyder Ali was the de facto ruler of Mysore and led Mysore's forces during this war.
Tipu Sultan was Hyder Ali's son and became prominent later; he did not lead Mysore in the 1767–1769 conflict.
The opposing force was the British East India Company; the Portuguese, Marathas, or French were not the principal opponents in this specific war.
