Answer : 3. "Myanmar"
Explanation :

China is pushing to accelerate the construction of a special economic zone (SEZ) in Rakhine state in western Myanmar. The initiative aims to ensure easy access to the Bay of Bengal and is being developed by Kyaukphyu SEZ and Deep Sea Port Company Limited, a joint venture between CITIC Myanmar Port Investment Limited and the Myanmar government-backed Kyaukphyu SEZ Management Committee . The project includes the construction of Kyaukphyu SEZ and deep sea port. China's involvement in the project has strategic implications, potentially impacting India's traditional role as a net security provider in the region and Beijing's growing influence in Myanmar and surrounding regions. The development of this SEZ is part of China's broader efforts to expand its economic and strategic footprint in Southeast Asia.
