Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Answer: Only 1, 2 & 3
Notes: Mintaka, Parpik, and Khunjerab passes are crucial routes in the Karakoram range connecting Kashmir with China. Mintaka is near the India-China-Afghanistan border, while Parpik lies east of Mintaka and Khunjerab is east of Parpik. Aghil Pass, though in the region, connects Ladakh to Xinjiang, not specifically Kashmir to China.
