Answer 1

The correct answer is Durand line.

Key Points

Ethnic Pashtuns who reside on both sides of the border are split by the Durand Line.
It separates Afghanistan's northeastern, eastern, and southern provinces from Pakistan's northern and western provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The Durand Line is a boundary between Afghanistan and British India that runs through tribal regions in the Hindu Kush and was established in 1893 to delineate their separate spheres of influence.
Subsequently, it served to delineate the Pakistani-Afghanistan border.
The Afghanistan-Pakistan border, a 2,670-kilometer (1,660 mi) international land border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in South Asia, is defined by the Durand Line.
The eastern end reaches China's border, while the western end reaches Iran's border.

Additional Information

The Radcliffe Line served as the dividing line between the areas of British India's Punjab and Bengal provinces that were in India and Pakistan.
At the conclusion of the Shimla Conference, Tibet and Great Britain negotiated the McMahon Line, the border between Tibet and Assam in British India (October 1913–July 1914).
Sir Henry McMahon, the leading British negotiator, is honoured with the moniker McMahon Line.
