The correct answer is option 1, which states that statements 1 and 2 are not correct about the historic Stilwell road.

Let`s dissect each statement to understand why they are incorrect.

1. Statement 1: It connects India and Myanmar through Arunachal Pradesh. This statement is incorrect because the Stilwell road actually connects India and Myanmar through the Indian state of Assam and the country of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). It does not pass through Arunachal Pradesh.

2. Statement 2: It was built by the Japanese during World War II. This statement is incorrect because the Stilwell road was not built by the Japanese. It was built by the Allied forces, mainly by the British Indian Army and the United States Army, during World War II. The road was constructed to provide a land route between India and China to aid in the war effort against Japan.

Statement 3 is not mentioned in the answer, so it is not relevant to the correctness of the statements.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1 because both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect.
