Correct option is A
The correct answer is: (A) China
Explanation:
- The McMahon Line is a border line that separates India from China. It was drawn during the Simla Accord of 1914, which was an agreement between British India and Tibet.
- The line was meant to demarcate the boundary between India and Tibet, but after the Chinese annexation of Tibet in 1950, China considered the line invalid, leading to disputes over the border in the Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh regions.
Information Booster:
- The McMahon Line plays a critical role in the ongoing India-China border dispute.
- Tibet (now an autonomous region of China) was under British influence at the time the line was drawn, but China does not accept the line as the official boundary.
- The India-China war of 1962 was partly triggered by disputes over the McMahon Line and the boundary in the Aksai Chin region.
