Which outcome correctly reflects the impact of the Battle of Wandiwash on European rivalry in India?
British dominance increased as French military influence collapsed permanently.
The Battle of Wandiwash was fought in 1760 during the Third Carnatic War between the English East India Company and the French, and it was a decisive English victory.
The English forces under Sir Eyre Coote defeated the French under Comte de Lally, and the subsequent fall of Pondicherry effectively ended French ambitions of building a political empire in India.
After this defeat the French military and political influence in India collapsed permanently, while British dominance in the subcontinent increased greatly.
Hence, the correct outcome is that British dominance increased as French military influence collapsed permanently.
