Why are latitudes and longitudes important for understanding India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They show India's exact geographical position and spread

The governing concept is the geographic coordinate system. Latitudes measure angular distance north or south of the Equator, while longitudes measure angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together they form a grid that identifies the precise position of any place and helps describe the boundaries and extent of a country. For India, the coordinate range explains its north–south and east–west spread and supports map-based comparison. Option A is correct because coordinates locate and delimit space. Population, language, and mineral distribution may be mapped with other data, but they are not what latitude and longitude themselves measure.
