If sunrise occurs earlier at India's eastern extreme, what is it directly related to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Eastern longitude and local time

The governing concept is Earth’s rotation and the effect of longitude on local time. Earth rotates from west to east, so places farther east reach a given position relative to the Sun earlier than places farther west. Since India has a considerable east–west longitudinal extent, sunrise and local solar time occur earlier in the eastern part than in the western part. Option A correctly identifies both the geographical cause and the time-related effect. Latitude mainly influences north–south position and seasonal conditions, while boundaries, coastline, population, and the Tropic of Cancer do not directly explain the earlier local sunrise described here.
