Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The McMahon Line is the boundary between India and China (specifically the Tibet region) in the Eastern Sector [c1][c2]. It was established during the Simla Convention of 1914, named after Sir Henry McMahon, the British representative who negotiated the agreement [c2][c3]. The line runs approximately 1,140 km from the eastern limit of Bhutan to the tri-junction of India, Myanmar, and Tibet [c2]. While India recognizes this line as its legal national border, China rejects the Simla Convention's validity, claiming that Tibet lacked the sovereignty to sign such a treaty [t4][t5]. Despite this, the line serves as the effective Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the region of Arunachal Pradesh [c3][t4]. The boundary follows the Himalayan crest of the northern watershed of the Brahmaputra River [c2].
