Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project connects the Kolkata seaport in India with the Sittwe seaport in Myanmar. Since Myanmar is a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), this project is a part of connectivity cooperation between India and an ASEAN member country.

Statement 2 is correct: The India-Myanmar-Thailand (IMT) Trilateral Highway is a major connectivity project under India's Act East Policy. It connects Moreh in Manipur, India, with Mae Sot in Thailand via Myanmar. Both Myanmar and Thailand are ASEAN member countries.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The Agartala-Akhaura Rail Line is a railway link between Tripura in India and Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a member of SAARC and BIMSTEC, but it is not an ASEAN member country.

Therefore, only projects 1 and 2 involve cooperation between India and ASEAN member countries.
