Option A

Explanation:

The Pamir Knot makes reference to the convergence of several mountain ranges. Some of the high peaks include Communism Peak (24,590 ft or 7,7495 m), Lenin Peak (23,403 ft or 7,133 m), and Peak Evgenia Korjenevskaya (23,311 ft or 7,105 m). Although the Pamir Mountains region is considered one of the least accessible areas in the world, it is also a very important geopolitical spot with highways such as Karakoram highway, linking Gilgit with Kashgar (considered the highest international highway in the world), the Wakhan Corridor between Tajikistan and Pakistan and the eastern "finger of Afghanistan This corridor was an annexation to Afghanistan by Great Britain in the late 18th century.
