The correct option is C buffer between Imperial China and British India.
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Although Nepal was never colonised by any country, it served as a buffer between Imperial China and British India. Nepal was worried that the British would colonise her next. So, Nepal agreed to recruit her highly-valued Gurkhas into the British-Indian Army.
