The correct answer is option 1: Sikkim. Nathu La is a mountain pass in the Indian state of Sikkim, which is located on the border between India and China. It connects the Indian town of Gangtok with the Chinese city of Xigaze. After being closed for 44 years, trade between India and China was resumed at Nathu La in 2006. This trade route is significant as it provides a shorter and more direct route for Indo-China trade compared to other routes. It also has historical and strategic importance, as it was one of the main routes for trade between India and Tibet in the past.
