Which ocean lies to the south of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Indian Ocean

The direct answer is option A: the Indian Ocean lies south of India. Locate India on a map: the Indian subcontinent projects southward into the Indian Ocean. The Arabian Sea is to the west and the Bay of Bengal is to the east; both are parts of the Indian Ocean region. Thus the water body directly associated with India’s southern side is the Indian Ocean. Option A is correct. Option B, the Arctic Ocean, is around the North Pole and far to the north. Option C, the Atlantic Ocean, lies mainly between the Americas and Europe-Africa, not directly south of India. Option D, the Pacific Ocean, lies east of Asia and is not the ocean bordering India’s southern side. India is called a peninsula because water surrounds it on three sides, but the southern ocean is specifically the Indian Ocean. Memory cue: India’s three surrounding waters are Arabian Sea west, Bay of Bengal east, Indian Ocean south.
