Why is India's location favourable for maritime connectivity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India has a long coastline and access to the Indian Ocean

The correct answer is B. India projects southward into the Indian Ocean and has a long coastline along the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. This physical setting supports ports, shipping routes, fishing, coastal trade and contact with countries around the ocean. The governing concept is maritime location: access to navigable seas reduces dependence on overland routes and can connect a country with regional and global markets. Option A is incorrect because India is not landlocked. Option C contradicts the existence and potential of coastal ports, while option D falsely describes India’s physical environment. The peninsular shape and central position in the northern Indian Ocean are the key geographic reasons for this advantage.
