Correct:
C
Explanation
The Nathu La pass in Sikkim was formally reopened for border trade between India and China in mid‑2006, after remaining closed since the 1962 war; authoritative sources note that Nathu La was reopened in 2006 and is one of the three trading border posts between the two countries [1]. The Government of India held an inaugural function for the resumption of border trade at Nathu La on July 6, 2006, marking the official reopening to facilitate cross‑border trade and limited commerce with the Tibet Autonomous Region [2].
