Explanation
Among the given options, Chhattisgarh is the only state that does not share an international boundary. It is a landlocked state located in central India, surrounded entirely by other Indian states such as Odisha, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh [1]. In contrast, Bihar shares a 1,752 km long international border with Nepal to its north [1]. Uttarakhand shares international borders with both Nepal and China (Tibet) in the middle sector of the Himalayan range [4]. Meghalaya shares a significant international land border with Bangladesh to its south [1]. While states like Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Meghalaya are situated along India's frontier, Chhattisgarh is categorized as an interior state without any international land or maritime boundaries [1].
