What is the importance of Kanyakumari in India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is the southern tip of mainland India

The governing concept is the identification of India’s extreme points and the distinction between mainland and island territory. Kanyakumari, located in Tamil Nadu, is the southernmost tip of India’s mainland, where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean meet. Therefore, option C is correct. It should not be confused with Indira Point, which is the southernmost point of India as a whole and lies on Great Nicobar Island. Kanyakumari is neither the northern nor western extremity, and it is not the Standard Meridian; the Standard Meridian is 82°30′ east longitude. These distinctions make C the only valid answer.
