Correct Answer:

India and Pakistan

The correct answer is Option 4 - India and Pakistan

 The India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty was signed between India and Pakistan. It was signed by Nehru and General Ayub Khan in 1960.

The Kashmir conflict did not prevent cooperation between the governments of India and Pakistan. Both governments worked together to restore the women abducted during Partition to their original families. A long-term dispute about the sharing of river waters was resolved through mediation by the World Bank. The India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty was signed by Nehru and General Ayub Khan in 1960. Despite all ups and downs in Indo-Pak relations, this treaty has worked well.
