India's longitudinal extent shows which geographical spread?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East–west spread

Longitude is the governing coordinate for describing east–west position. Meridians extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and the difference between the longitudes of India's western and eastern limits gives its east–west extent. Consequently, option C is correct. Option A confuses longitude with latitude, because latitude indicates north–south distance from the Equator. Ocean depth and forest height are unrelated physical measurements. India's wide longitudinal span is also important because local time changes from one longitude to another; places farther east experience sunrise earlier than places farther west. A standard time is therefore adopted for practical administration.
