A Correct answer
Explanation

The Maginot Line was a extensive defensive barrier built by France in the 1930s along its border with Germany, named after French Minister of War Andre Maginot. It consisted of concrete fortifications, obstacles, and weapon installations. Although it failed to prevent Germany's invasion through Belgium in 1940, it remains famous as a symbol of static defense. The Mac Mohan Line is between India and China, the Hindenburg Line was a WWI German defensive position, and the Durand Line separates Pakistan and Afghanistan.

AI explanation

The Maginot Line was the fortified defensive barrier built by France along its border with Germany (and Italy) in the 1930s, intended to deter another German invasion after WWI. The Mac Mahon and Durand Lines relate to India/Pakistan/Afghanistan borders, and the Hindenburg Line was a WWI German defensive line further east, none of which sit on the France-Germany border.
