The correct answer is option 1, Myanmar. SAARC stands for South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and it is an organization composed of eight member countries from South Asia. These member countries are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Option 1, Myanmar, is not a member of SAARC. Myanmar, officially known as the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, is a country in Southeast Asia. It is located on the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, and it shares borders with Bangladesh, China, India, Laos, and Thailand. While Myanmar is a neighboring country of some SAARC member countries, it is not part of the regional cooperation organization itself.

Therefore, the option 1, Myanmar, is the correct answer as it is not a member of SAARC.
