Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) 106 KM.
Explanation:
· India shares a land border of 106 kilometers with Afghanistan. This boundary lies in the region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), specifically along the Wakhan Corridor. However, due to the current geopolitical situation, including the presence of Pakistan in the region, India does not have direct access to this part of the border.
Information Booster:
Wakhan Corridor:
· A narrow strip of land in northeastern Afghanistan that connects Afghanistan to China's Xinjiang region.
· The Wakhan Corridor historically connected India with Afghanistan, but the region is currently inaccessible due to Pakistan’s occupation of Kashmir.
