[A] British and Dutch

[D] Portuguese and French

Answer: B

Notes:

Explanation: From 1672 France and Holland were continuously at war.

In India the French lacked men, money and arms, as they had diverted them to Chandranagore, another French settlement in Bengal.
Therefore, the Dutch could capture Pondicherry easily in 1693. It remained with the Dutch for six years.
In 1697, according to the treaty of Ryswick, Pondicherry was once again restored to the French.
