B Correct answer
Explanation

The Battle of Wandiwash (1760) was decisively won by the British East India Company under General Eyre Coote against the French, ending French colonial ambitions in India. Option A is wrong because Mir Jafar was betrayed by Clive at Plassey (1757), not Buxar (1764). Option C confuses Chelianwala (1848, Sikhs vs British) with Dalhousie. Option D is wrong because Kharda (1795) was Nizam vs Marathas, not East India Company.
