Answer: Option C
Solution:
The immediate cause of the third Anglo-Mysore war was the attack of Tipu on an ally of the English, the Raja of Travancore, who had provoked Tipu by some of his actions. The English purchased the neutrality of the Nizam and the Marathas in 1790 by offering them parts of the conquered territories of Tipu after the war.
