Hint: It is situated in the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India, and the Ngari Prefecture in Tibet, China.
The Pass is one of India's border posts for trade with Tibet, along with NathuLa in Sikkim and Lipulek in Uttarakhand. The pass is very close to the town of Khab.

Complete answer:
Option C is the correct answer.
Shipkila pass is on the tibet himalayan road in himachal pradesh.
The Shipki La Pass is located at an altitude of approximately 3,930 m in the Himalayan range in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The mountain pass is situated on the border with India and formerly Tibet (now China) and is inaccessible in the winter months.With a dozen large buildings on the border between India and China, Shipki La is a mountain pass and border post. The Sutlej River enters India near this pass.
Now lets see the options :-
Bomdila pass :- this pass is located in arunachal pradesh not himachal pradesh thus this option is wrong
Bhorghat pass :- Bhore Ghaut, is a mountain passage on the road route in Maharashtra, India, situated on the crest of the Western Ghats, between Palasdari and Khandala by railway and between Khopoli and Khandala. Thus this option is wrong too.
Shipki La :- The Shipki La Pass is situated in the Himalayan range in the state of Himachal Pradesh, thus this option is correct.
Nathula pass :- nathula pass is located in east sikkim thus this option is wrong too.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note:The high altitude mountain pass and the highest motorable path with an elevation of 18,399 ft is the Dungri la pass or Mana Pass. Beneath the Banihal pass, the Jawahar tunnel was built.
A Himalayan pass linking India and China is Shipki La. The Zoji La Pass connects the valley between Ladakh and Kashmir.
