Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Stilwell Road, originally known as the Ledo Road, was a strategic military route constructed during World War II to connect Ledo in Assam, India, to Kunming in China via northern Myanmar [t2][t8]. Statement 1 is correct as the road passes through the Pangsau Pass in Arunachal Pradesh to enter Myanmar [t2][t6]. Statement 3 is also correct because the road spans three countries: India, Myanmar, and China [t3][t5]. However, Statement 2 is incorrect; the road was built by the Allied Forces, primarily under the leadership of American General Joseph Stilwell, to bypass the Japanese blockade of the Burma Road [t1][t2]. It was not built by the Japanese, but rather to fight against them [t9]. Since the question asks for the statement that is 'not correct', only Statement 2 fits this criteria.
