Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) India-Nepal border
Tibet is an autonomous region of China, and one direct route from India to Tibet would be through the India-China border. However, the question specifies avoiding the India-China border.
One can travel to Nepal by crossing the India-Nepal border and then proceed from Nepal to Tibet via the Nepal-China border. This route avoids directly crossing the India-China border, making the India-Nepal border the correct answer.
