Key Points

The paragraph talks about the history of India-Pakistan relations and their engagements in wars.

Additional Information

(DCAB) starts with a peace agreement, which doesn't make sense as it is not mentioned until the third sentence.
(CDBA) puts the Kargil war before the Lahore Declaration, which is incorrect as the latter was signed before the former.
(DABC) puts the description of the challenges faced by the Indian army before mentioning the war they were fighting in, which is not coherent.
