Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The mountain passes are correctly matched to their respective states as follows: Zoji La is located in the Kashmir Himalaya, historically part of Jammu and Kashmir, and connects Srinagar with Leh [3]. Shipki La is situated in Himachal Pradesh within the Satluj Gorge, serving as a vital trade route between India and Tibet [3]. Lipulekh Pass is located in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand and is a significant transit point for pilgrims traveling to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. Nathu La is a prominent pass in Sikkim that forms an offshoot of the ancient Silk Road and was reopened for trade in 2006 [3]. Therefore, the correct sequence matching List-I (A, B, C, D) with List-II is 3, 1, 2, 4, which corresponds to Option 3.
