This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (01-Nov-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is

Afghanistan

India has a land boundary of about 15,200 km shared with seven countries: Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Bhutan and Afghanistan.

The India–Afghanistan boundary is only about 106 km long. It lies in the Gilgit-Baltistan area of Ladakh (under Pakistan's illegal occupation), where Indian territory meets Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor, making it the shortest of India's land boundaries.

Bangladesh shares the longest boundary with India (about 4,097 km), China about 3,488 km and Nepal about 1,751 km, so each of these is far longer. Because the country with the shortest boundary is listed, 'None of the above' does not apply.

Afghanistan option is correct.
