Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Each of these Himalayan passes crosses the border region of one state or Union Territory, so the match follows from where the pass lies.
(A) Mana — this matches (IV) Uttarakhand. Mana Pass is in the Chamoli district, beyond Badrinath, and leads to Tibet.
(B) Nathula — this matches (I) Sikkim. Nathu La links Sikkim with the Chumbi Valley of Tibet and is a border trade post and a route for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
(C) Zojila — this matches (II) Jammu & Kashmir. Zoji La carries the Srinagar-Leh road from the Kashmir Valley to Drass; it was in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and now lies in the Union Territory of Ladakh.
(D) Shipkila — this matches (III) Himachal Pradesh. Shipki La is in the Kinnaur district, where the Sutlej enters India from Tibet.
