D. Battle of Plassey

Explanation

The correct chronological order is: Battle of Ambur (1749), Battle of Plassey (1757), Battle of Wandiwash (1760), and Battle of Buxar (1764).

The Battle of Ambur, fought on 3 August 1749, was a pivotal conflict of the Second Carnatic War in India. In this battle, the allied forces of Chanda Sahib, Muzaffar Jung, and the French defeated the Nawab of the Carnatic, Anwaruddin Muhammad Khan.

The French forces, under De Bussy, decisively defeated the numerically superior but traditionally organized army, resulting in the death of Anwaruddin and enabling Chanda Sahib to become the Nawab of Arcot.
