Answer 1

Hint:
 These are the states located mainly in the north-western part of India. It ranges from the Karakoram Range to the Arabian Sea.


Complete step by step solution:
As we know, India and Pakistan were one country before the partition in 1947, but India was divided into two countries after the partition, namely the Dominion of Pakistan and the Union of India. The total length of the boundary between India and Pakistan is 3,323 kilometres. Let's inform you that the border between India and Pakistan can be seen at night from space because, on about 50,000 poles, India has mounted about 1, 50,000 floodlights. It is, thus, still considered one of the most dangerous frontiers in the world.

Jammu and Kashmir are bordered to the south-west by Pakistan. It is bound by the Pakistani-administered portion of Kashmir to the North-West.

The state of Rajasthan lies in the north-western region of the Indian subcontinent. It is bordered by the Western and North-Western provinces of Sindh and Punjab in Pakistan.

The state of Gujarat is situated on the western coast of the country, on the Arabian sea. It is bordered to the north-west by Pakistan.

Punjab is located in the Indian subcontinent's north-western region. It is bordered by Pakistan to the west.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
The international border (IB) is also known as the India-Pakistan border. It stretches north from Jammu and Kashmir to Zero Point between Gujarat in India and the province of Sindh in Pakistan.
