Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Nepal shares the benefits of the Kosi Multipurpose Project with India. Nepal agreed to the 1920 Sarda treaty, involving an exchange of territory, but not an advantageous one for Nepal. India enjoys most of the benefits of the Kosi and Gandak treaties (of 1954 and 1959), leading to the construction of dams primarily irrigating and protecting Indian lands.
