Which physical effect is more likely due to India's greater north-south extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Difference in temperature and seasonal experience between north and south

The governing concept is the climatic influence of latitude. A greater north-south extent means that different parts of India lie at noticeably different latitudes. Latitude affects the angle at which solar energy reaches the surface and also influences the length and character of seasons. Therefore, northern and southern regions can experience differences in temperature, seasonal timing, and climatic conditions, although altitude, relief, distance from the sea, and monsoon circulation also matter. Option A is correct because it expresses this latitudinal effect. Option B is wrong because longitudes do not disappear; option C confuses a line of contact with an area; and option D concerns local time, which primarily varies with longitude, not north-south extent.
