{'sikkim': [1, 0, 0, 4], 'only indian state': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'common border': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'west bengal': [1, 0, 0, 3]}

The correct answer is option-4, West Bengal. Sikkim shares its border with only one state in India, and that is West Bengal. West Bengal is located to the south of Sikkim and is the closest state to it. It is important to note that Sikkim is a landlocked state nestled in the eastern Himalayas and is surrounded by three international borders – Tibet (China) to the north, Bhutan to the east, and Nepal to the west. However, when it comes to bordering Indian states, Sikkim only shares its border with West Bengal. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya, which are also states in the northeastern part of India, do not have a common border with Sikkim.
