Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The 38th Parallel is not the boundary between Russia and Finland; it is the latitude line that demarcates the border between North Korea and South Korea [t2, t4, t5]. The boundary between Russia and Finland is historically associated with the Mannerheim Line, a defensive fortification used during World War II [t5]. Regarding the other options: the Durand Line was established in 1893 between British India and Afghanistan and currently serves as the international border between Pakistan and Afghanistan [c4, t5, t9]. The Maginot Line was a famous defensive fortification built by France along its border with Germany to prevent invasion [t1, t2, t5]. The Radcliffe Line was the boundary commission's demarcation for the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 [t5]. Therefore, option 3 is the only incorrectly matched pair.
