Solution
The correct option is C Bangladesh
The Teesta river originates in Sikkim and flows through West Bengal as well as Bangladesh. India claims a share of 55 percent of the river's water. Bangladesh wants a higher share than it gets now. Currently, its share is lower than that of India's. Negotiations on how to share the water have been going on since 1983. A 2011 interim deal - that was supposed to last 15 years - gave India 42.5 percent of the Teesta's waters and gave Bangladesh 37.5 percent.
