Option 1 is incorrect because although Myanmar shares borders with Bangladesh and Thailand, it does not with Vietnam. Option 2 is incorrect because Myanmar doesn`t border any of the countries listed - namely Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia. Option 3 is also wrong because Myanmar doesn`t share borders with Vietnam and Malaysia. The correct answer is option 4. Myanmar does indeed share borders with Thailand, Laos and, Bangladesh. It`s directly east of India and Bangladesh, south of China, and northwest of Laos and Thailand. Therefore, the provided answer is correct.
