Sunrise occurring earlier at India's eastern extreme is linked not with area but with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Local time being ahead at eastern longitudes

The governing concept is the relationship between longitude and local solar time. Earth rotates from west to east, so places located farther east face the Sun earlier and experience an earlier local sunrise. The difference is approximately four minutes for each degree of longitude, although a country may use one standard time for administrative convenience. Thus India's eastern extreme can have sunrise earlier than places in the west because of longitudinal extent, not because of total area. Option A is correct. Options B and D describe boundary characteristics, while C is a percentage comparison; none directly determines the timing of sunrise.
