A. Firozpur✓ Correct Answer
B. Gurdaspur
C. Fazilka
D. Tarn Taran
💡 Solution & Explanation
Firozpur district shares a direct international border with Pakistan and is renowned for the Hussainiwala National Martyrdom Memorial and border retreat ceremony near the Sutlej River. While Gurdaspur and Fazilka also border Pakistan, Hussainiwala is specifically located in Firozpur district. Tarn Taran shares a border with Pakistan but is not the site of the Hussainiwala memorial. Border district geography plays a strategic role in national security and cross-border trade administration.
