Solution

The correct option is B Sir Creek

Explanation:

Sir Creek is a 96-km strip of water disputed between India and Pakistan in the Rann of Kutch marshlands. The long-standing India-Pakistan Sir Creek border dispute hinges on the actual demarcation “from the mouth of Sir Creek to the top of Sir Creek, and from the top of Sir Creek eastward to a point on the line designated on the Western Terminus”. The dispute between India and Pakistan, concerning Sir Creek, is the inability of both the countries to agree on a definite border with the fear of losing out on a vast amount of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) rich with gas and mineral deposits.
