Which one of the following statements about the Sir Creek is correct ?

Sir Creek is a 96-km (60-mile) long estuary located in the Rann of Kutch marshlands [t1][t4]. It forms the maritime and land boundary between the Gujarat state of India and the Sindh province of Pakistan [c1][t5]. The dispute originated in the early 20th century between the rulers of Kutch and Sindh and remains unresolved due to differing interpretations of the 1914 Bombay Government Resolution [t3][t4]. India asserts the boundary lies in the middle of the navigable channel (Thalweg principle), while Pakistan claims the entire creek by citing the 'green line' on the eastern bank as the border [c1][t2]. The region is strategically significant due to its rich marine life and potential undersea oil and gas resources [c1][c2]. Other options are incorrect as Sir Creek is not related to the Jhelum river, the Myanmar border, or the Bay of Bengal [t1][t5].
