What causes the difference between the southern limit of India's mainland and India's total southern extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because of island parts located in the south

Option A is correct because India’s national territory includes islands that lie south of the mainland’s southern tip. The mainland extends to Kanniyakumari, whereas the Andaman and Nicobar Islands continue farther south; Indira Point on Great Nicobar marks India’s southernmost point. Thus, the mainland limit and the country’s total geographical extent are different measurements. The Himalayas are in the north and cannot explain a southern extension. The western desert affects landforms and climate in the northwest, while the Tropic of Cancer is a latitude crossing central India and is not the reason for the difference between mainland and total extent.
