What happens to India's coastline when islands are included?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases

A coastline is the boundary where land meets the sea. If only mainland India is measured, the calculation includes the shore of the continuous mainland. Islands are also land areas surrounded by water, so every included island contributes its own shoreline to the national total. Adding these island coastlines to the mainland coastline increases the measured length. Therefore, option C is correct. The coastline does not decrease because no mainland shore is removed; it does not become zero because the land still meets the sea; and it does not disappear because islands themselves possess coastlines. The exact total may vary slightly according to mapping scale and measurement method, but the direction of change is always an increase when additional island shores are included.
