Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched ?

The Battle of Wandiwash (1760) was a decisive engagement of the Third Carnatic War fought between the French and the British East India Company, resulting in an English victory that ended French ambitions in India. Option 1 is incorrect: the Battle of Buxar (1764) pitted the Company against Mir Qasim, Shuja-ud-Daulah and Shah Alam II (not Mir Jafar facing Clive) and led to the Treaty of Allahabad and Company dominance in Bengal [1]. Option 3 is wrong because Chillianwala was an Anglo‑Sikh confrontation (1849) rather than Dalhousie vs Marathas, and option 4 is incorrect since Kharda (1795) involved the Marathas defeating the Nizam, not a Nizam vs Company battle.
