Which option correctly relates a fact and its effect about India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Longitudinal extent — local time difference

The governing concept is the relationship between longitude and local time. Earth rotates from west to east, so places located at different longitudes face the Sun at different moments. The standard geographical rule is that 15 degrees of longitude correspond to approximately one hour of time difference, or one degree to about four minutes. Consequently, a greater east-west or longitudinal extent can produce a noticeable difference in local solar time. Option A correctly links the fact with its effect. Option B confuses latitude with coastline, C confuses a boundary with a meridian, and D treats area as a direct determinant of sunrise time. Sunrise also depends on longitude, latitude, season and local horizon conditions.
