Why is Australia mentioned when comparing India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because Australia is larger than India and ranks sixth in area

The governing concept is comparative geographical size. India covers about 3.28 million square kilometres and is commonly ranked as the seventh-largest country by area, whereas Australia covers about 7.69 million square kilometres and is commonly ranked sixth. Thus Australia is larger than India, and its position immediately above India in area rankings makes it a useful comparison in a lesson on India's size. Option A is correct because it states both relevant facts. Option B is wrong because Australia is a separate country, not an Indian state or neighbouring state. Option C confuses a country with a coastline, and option D reverses the actual area relationship. The comparison is about total area, not population, shape, or coastline length.
