Which of the following statements is/are not correct about the historic Stilwell road ? 1. It connects India and Myanmar through Arunachal Pradesh. 2. It was built by the Japanese during the World War II. 3. The road lies in the lands of three different countries—China, Myanmar and India, Select the answer using the code given below :

The Stilwell Road, originally known as the Ledo Road, was a strategic military route constructed during World War II to connect Ledo in Assam, India, to Kunming in China via northern Myanmar [t2][t8]. Statement 1 is correct as the road passes through the Pangsau Pass in Arunachal Pradesh to enter Myanmar [t2][t6]. Statement 3 is also correct because the road spans three countries: India, Myanmar, and China [t3][t5]. However, Statement 2 is incorrect; the road was built by the Allied Forces, primarily under the leadership of American General Joseph Stilwell, to bypass the Japanese blockade of the Burma Road [t1][t2]. It was not built by the Japanese, but rather to fight against them [t9]. Since the question asks for the statement that is 'not correct', only Statement 2 fits this criteria.
