AnswerClick to flip back
A
1804
💡 Explanation:
The British Residency was moved from Mysore to Bangalore in 1804 after the final Anglo-Mysore War and Tipu Sultan's defeat in 1799. Bangalore's strategic location and favorable climate made it more suitable for British administrative headquarters. The other dates are incorrect - 1799 was the year of Tipu Sultan's death, and 1962 is far too late.
