Which direction is considered while measuring north-south extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Latitudinal direction

The governing concept is the relationship between geographic directions and coordinate systems. North-south position is measured through changes in latitude, because parallels run east-west and indicate how far a place lies north or south of the Equator. Therefore, option A, latitudinal direction, is correct. India’s north-south extent is described by the difference between its southern and northern latitudes. Longitudinal direction measures east-west position through meridians, so option B is associated mainly with east-west extent and time difference. Ocean depth and wind direction are physical or atmospheric measurements, not coordinate directions for calculating a country’s north-south extent.
