Correct Answer: Option C — Both 1 and 2
Both statements accurately describe the geography and location of the disputed territory known as Sir Creek.

Detailed Breakdown

Statement 1 (Correct): Sir Creek is indeed a 98-km long strip of water. It is a tidal estuary, meaning its water level changes with the tides, and it is located in the uninhabited marshy lands of the Rann of Kutch. It flows directly into the Arabian Sea.

Statement 2 (Correct): It serves as a natural (though disputed) border, separating the Kutch district of the Indian state of Gujarat from the Sindh province of Pakistan.
