Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Option 1: 1973 – That’s not it. By 1973, the Dalai Lama had already been living in India for years.

- Option 2: 1957 – Still off. The uprising in Tibet hadn’t reached its tipping point yet, and the Dalai Lama was still in Tibet.

- Option 3: 1962 – Nope. By then, border tensions between India and China were heating up, but the Dalai Lama had already arrived three years earlier.

- Option 4: 1959 – This is spot on. In 1959, after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet, the Dalai Lama fled to India and was granted political asylum. It was a major turning point for India-Tibet relations.
