Which areas are included in India's total coastline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mainland and island groups

The governing geographical distinction is between the coastline of the mainland and the coastlines of India’s island territories. India’s total coastline is calculated by considering the shores along the mainland peninsula as well as the coasts of island groups such as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. Therefore, option C is correct. The Himalayas are inland mountains, the Thar Desert is an interior arid region, and the Ganga Plain is an inland alluvial plain; none of these alone represents India’s total coastline. The word “total” is important because it requires combining the mainland and island components rather than counting only the peninsular mainland.
