C

D

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

Checking the matching of historical periods and wars: 1. Pair 1: AD 1767-69 - This period corresponds to the First Anglo-Mysore War, not the First Anglo Maratha War (which was 1775–1782). So, Pair 1 is incorrectly matched. 2. Pair 2: AD 1790-92 - This period corresponds to the Third Mysore War (Third Anglo-Mysore War). So, Pair 2 is correctly matched. 3. Pair 3: AD 1824-26 - This period corresponds to the First Anglo Burmese War. So, Pair 3 is correctly matched. 4. Pair 4: AD 1845-46 - This period corresponds to the First Anglo-Sikh War, not the Second Sikh War (which was 1848–1849). So, Pair 4 is incorrectly matched. Therefore, the pairs that are correctly matched are 2 and 3.
