Why is it incomplete to look only at area percentage while comparing India's size with other countries?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because rank and actual area are also necessary for comparison

The governing concept is multi-dimensional comparison of geographical size. A percentage shows India’s share of the world’s land area, but it does not by itself reveal the country’s position among all countries or its absolute physical extent. India is commonly described as occupying about 2.4% of the world’s geographical area and ranking seventh by area; its actual area, approximately 3.28 million square kilometres, adds further scale. Thus option A is correct because percentage, rank and actual area complement one another. Option B is false because percentages can be useful when interpreted properly. Option C wrongly rejects area, while D confuses coastline with the basis of area ranking.
