What does the presence of eastern longitudes indicate in India's geographical location?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India lies east of the Prime Meridian

The governing concept is the division of the Earth by the Prime Meridian at 0° longitude. Longitudes measured eastward from this reference are called eastern longitudes, while those measured westward are western longitudes. Since India extends roughly from 68°7′E to 97°25′E, its location is east of the Prime Meridian. Thus option A is correct. Option B reverses the meaning of eastern longitude; option C confuses longitude with a polar location; and option D is meaningless because direction is an essential part of describing geographical position.
