Correct answer: A
India's North Eastern states collectively border five countries — China, Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Nepal — but how many of these countries a given state touches depends entirely on that state's own location, not on the region as a whole.
Checking each option's actual international boundary:
State | Bordering country/countries | Number of international borders |
|---|---|---|
Arunachal Pradesh | Bhutan (west), China (north), Myanmar (east) | 3 |
Meghalaya | Bangladesh (south and west) | 1 |
Mizoram | Bangladesh (west), Myanmar (east) | 2 |
Assam | Bangladesh (south), Bhutan (north) | 2 |
This matches the Ministry of Home Affairs' and MDoNER's official state-wise international border data: among the four states listed here, only Arunachal Pradesh borders three separate countries — Meghalaya borders one, and Mizoram and Assam each border two. (Sikkim, also administered under the North Eastern Council, likewise borders three countries — Nepal, Bhutan, and China — but is not among the given options.)
Hence, among the given options, Arunachal Pradesh is the state having three international borders.
