Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct matching of mountain passes with their respective states is as follows: Zoji La is located in the Zaskar range, connecting Srinagar with Leh in Jammu and Kashmir [4]. Lipulekh Pass is a vital link in Uttarakhand, serving as a route for the Kailash-Mansarovar pilgrimage [4]. Shipki La is situated in Himachal Pradesh through the Satluj Gorge, where the Satluj River enters India from Tibet [1]. Nathu La is located in Sikkim and is a significant border trade post between India and China, forming an offshoot of the ancient Silk Road [4]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4, B-3, C-1, and D-2. While Zoji La now connects the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, it is traditionally associated with the Kashmir Himalaya region in historical and geographical contexts [4].
