Which statement about India's east–west extent is most logical?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It creates regional differences in local time

The logical relationship is between east–west distance, longitude, and local solar time. Locations at different longitudes face the Sun at different moments because Earth rotates from west to east. Consequently, the eastern parts of India generally experience sunrise and local noon earlier than the western parts. This makes option A correct. Option B states the opposite of the effect, while option C incorrectly confuses longitude with latitude. Option D has no geographical basis because a country's longitudinal span cannot remove nearby seas. India uses a single standard time for convenience, but local-time differences still exist across its broad east–west extent.
