Correct Answer: Option C

The Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MGC) was established on November 10, 2000, in Vientiane during the First MGC Ministerial Meeting.

The MGC comprises six member countries: India, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

The four key areas of cooperation are tourism, culture, education, and transportation, aiming to create a base for trade and investment in the region.

Therefore, Bangladesh and China are not participants in the Mekong-Ganga Cooperation.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
