What is the main reason for the difference between India's total coastline and mainland coastline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total coastline also includes island coastlines

The governing distinction is between mainland coastline and total coastline. Mainland coastline measures the coast along the continuous continental landmass of India. Total coastline includes that mainland coast plus the coastlines of India's offshore and island territories, such as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. Because island shores are added to the mainland figure, the total coastline is longer. Option B is unrelated because longitudes are imaginary reference lines, not coastline components. Option C reverses the meaning of total coastline, and option D confuses a percentage of global land area with a coastal measurement. Thus option A gives the correct geographical reason.
