[A] French & English

[B] French & Portuguese

[C] French & Dutch

[D] Dutch & Portuguese

Answer: C
Notes:

The French position in India was badly affected with the outbreak of war between the Dutch and the French. Bolstered by their alliance with the English since the Revolution of 1688, the Dutch captured Pondicherry in 1693. Although the Treaty of Ryswick concluded in September 1697 restored Pondicherry to the French, the Dutch garrison held on to it for two more years.
