Options:

Mcmahon line

Line of actual control

Line of control

Pemberton line

Correct Answer:

Line of control

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - Line of Control

The Line of control divides Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and the Indian province of Jammu and Kashmir.

The most salient and over- whelming of these conflicts is, of course, the one between India and Pakistan. Soon after the partition, the two countries got embroiled in a conflict over the fate of Kashmir. The Pakistani government claimed that Kashmir belonged to it. Wars between India and Pakistan in 1947-48 and 1965 failed to settle the matter. The 1947-48 war resulted in the division of the province into Pakistan-occupied.
