How can directional spread and global comparison be distinguished in India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: North-south and east-west extents show direction, rank shows world comparison

Different measurements answer different geographical questions. North-south extent describes how far India stretches between its southern and northern limits, while east-west extent describes its spread between western and eastern limits. These are directional or internal measures of the country’s dimensions. A world area rank, by contrast, compares India’s area with the areas of other countries and therefore expresses relative global position, not direction. Option A correctly keeps these ideas separate. Option B confuses comparison with orientation; C incorrectly treats coastline as a percentage; and D confuses a coordinate measuring position with a boundary separating territories.
