Which combined regional importance is increased by India's long coastline and island extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Maritime contact, security and resource use

The governing concept is the maritime significance of coastal and island geography. A long coastline provides access to sea routes, ports, fisheries, offshore resources and coastal economic activities. Islands add strategic locations for surveillance, defence, communication and management of surrounding maritime spaces. Together, these features strengthen maritime contact, national security and resource use, so option A is correct. Option B restricts the result to land mountains, which are unrelated to the principal effect of coastline and islands. Option C is false because coastal geography does not remove the need for a standard meridian, and option D wrongly claims that coastal extent ends India’s latitude-based spread. The importance is therefore economic, strategic and regional.
