Answer: (b) there were recurring conflicts between British-French.

The British and the French were rivals for trade and colonies, and wars between them in Europe kept recurring. These conflicts were carried to India: the First Carnatic War (1744–48) followed the War of the Austrian Succession, the Second (1749–54) arose from their interference in the succession disputes of the Nawab of Carnatic and the Nizam, and the Third (1756–63) followed the Seven Years’ War. The British won at Wandiwash (1760) and French power in India declined.
