Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. India and China.

The Galwan River is located near the border of India and China in the eastern Ladakh region of the Union Territory of Ladakh, India. It originates in the Aksai Chin region, which is currently under Chinese control but claimed by India. The river flows westward into the Shyok River, a tributary of the Indus. The Galwan Valley gained significant attention due to a military standoff between Indian and Chinese forces in 2020. Strategically located, the valley lies near the Line of Actual Control (LAC), making it a sensitive and geopolitically important area in India-China border relations.
