Why does India have a long coastline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Due to its peninsular shape

The governing geographical concept is the relationship between a country’s shape and its coastline. India projects southward into the Indian Ocean as a peninsula, with the Arabian Sea on the west, the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Indian Ocean to the south. This three-sided contact with seawater produces a long mainland coastline, which is further extended when the coasts of island groups are included. Therefore, option A is correct. The Himalayas are a northern mountain barrier, deserts occupy only a limited western area, and India is not located in a polar region; hence options B, C and D cannot explain the long coastline.
