India has never invaded China, Europe, or Bangladesh in its modern history.

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

India has never invaded Maldives, Sri Lanka, or Bhutan. India's military interventions in the region have been peacekeeping operations (such as in Sri Lanka in 1987 as part of the Indo-Lanka Accord) or humanitarian missions (like the 1988 operation in Maldives at the request of the Maldivian government). These operations were conducted with international approval or at the invitation of the host nations, not as invasions. Therefore, 'None of these' is the correct answer.
