Correct answer: (c) Panchsheel Agreement
Explanation
Panchsheel, i.e., the five principles of peaceful co-existence, was formally signed on 29 April 1954 to increase trade and cultural contacts and to provide facilities for pilgrimage and travel. However, this agreement failed to resolve boundary-related issues, and India and China fought a war in 1962.
