{'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'sikkim': [1, 0, 0, 4], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'west bengal': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'only state': [0, 0, 1, 0]}
The correct answer is option 1, West Bengal. West Bengal is the only state that shares a border with Sikkim in 1992.
Option 2, Arunachal Pradesh, is incorrect because it does not touch Sikkim. Although it is a neighboring state to Sikkim, there is no physical border shared between the two.
Option 3, Assam, is incorrect because it does not touch Sikkim either. Assam is located to the east of West Bengal and does not share a border with Sikkim.
Option 4, Meghalaya, is also incorrect as it does not touch Sikkim. Meghalaya is located in the northeastern part of India and is not adjacent to Sikkim.
In summary, the only state that shares a physical border with Sikkim in 1992 is West Bengal.
