Which statement related to India's size and extent shows the correct cause-effect relation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Longitudinal extent creates differences in local time

The governing concept is the relationship between longitude and local solar time. Earth rotates 360 degrees in about 24 hours, so the time difference is approximately 4 minutes for each degree of longitude. Because India extends substantially from west to east, local solar time is not identical at all places: eastern locations experience sunrise and noon earlier than western locations. India adopts a standard meridian for a common official time, but that does not remove the underlying local-time difference. Option A correctly states the cause and effect. A coastline does not determine the standard meridian, area does not alter latitude, and a land boundary cannot create a natural parallel such as the Tropic of Cancer.
