Which figure most clearly shows the importance of maritime contact in understanding India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total coastline about 7516.6 km

The governing concept is that maritime contact is measured most directly by the length and position of a country’s coastline. India has a coastline of about 7,516.6 km when the mainland and island groups are considered together. This extensive coast opens routes to the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the wider Indian Ocean, influencing ports, fishing, trade and cultural contact. Hence option A is the most direct answer. Area measures territorial size, north-south extent describes latitudinal spread, and the percentage of world land indicates relative area; none of those figures directly measures access to the sea.
