The correct answer to the question is option 1, Iran. In October 2017, India sent its first shipment of wheat to Afghanistan through Iran. This was part of the commitment made by the Government of India to supply 11 million tonnes of wheat to Afghanistan on a grant basis.

Option 2, Pakistan, is not the correct answer in this case. While Pakistan shares a border with Afghanistan, India chose to send the wheat through Iran due to various reasons, including geopolitical factors and the unstable relationship between India and Pakistan.

Option 3, Tajikistan, is also not the correct answer. Tajikistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia and does not share a border with Afghanistan. It would not have been a practical route for sending wheat to Afghanistan.

Option 4, China, is also not the correct answer. While China shares a small border with Afghanistan, it was not involved in this particular shipment of wheat. India chose to send the wheat through Iran instead.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 1, Iran.
