Which statement best explains the role of coordinates in India's size and extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They determine India's global and directional position

Geographical coordinates provide a precise reference system for locating places on Earth. Latitude identifies a position north or south of the Equator, while longitude identifies a position east or west of the Prime Meridian. By giving the northern, southern, eastern and western coordinates of India, a map reader can describe its global position and calculate or compare its latitudinal and longitudinal extent. Thus, option A is correct because coordinates establish both location and directional spread. Option B is incorrect because coordinates do not directly measure population; option C confuses a location system with area measurement; and option D is false because coordinates help represent boundaries rather than erase them.
