Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

India shares a 3,323 km long international border with Pakistan, which was established following the 1947 partition under the Radcliffe Award [2]. This boundary traverses diverse geographical terrains, starting from the marshy Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, extending through the sandy deserts of Rajasthan, the fertile plains of Punjab, and into the mountainous regions of Jammu and Kashmir [2]. According to official records from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the border runs along the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Punjab, as well as the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Himachal Pradesh and Haryana do not share a border with Pakistan; Himachal Pradesh shares its international boundary with China [1], while Haryana is a landlocked state bordered by Punjab and Rajasthan. Therefore, the correct group of states/territories bordering Pakistan is Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
