India's east-west distance is linked with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Width of the country and time difference

The governing concept is longitudinal extent. India’s east-west distance contributes to the country’s width and creates differences in local solar time because the Earth rotates from west to east. A place farther east generally experiences sunrise and local noon earlier than a place farther west, although India adopts one standard time for national convenience. Option A is correct because it combines the two relevant consequences. Option B refers to elevation and cannot be determined by east-west distance alone. Options C and D are not geographical effects of longitude. The distinction between local time and Indian Standard Time is important: one national standard does not remove the underlying longitudinal time difference.
