Which importance of the Indian Ocean increases due to India's location?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Importance of maritime contact and trade

India occupies a strategically important position projecting into the northern Indian Ocean. The Arabian Sea lies to its west and the Bay of Bengal to its east, while the peninsula extends southward toward major sea routes linking West Asia, Africa, South-East Asia, and beyond. This location has historically supported maritime communication, port activity, cultural exchange, and international trade. The question asks for an importance created by location, not a physical resource found everywhere in India. Thus option B is correct. Inland agriculture, polar glaciers, and desert sand do not express the maritime significance of India’s position.
