Which statement related to India's size has both spatial and functional meaning?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Longitudinal extent shows location and affects time arrangement

Longitude has both a spatial and a functional significance. Spatially, a place’s longitude identifies its position east or west on the globe. Functionally, differences in longitude produce differences in local solar time because Earth rotates 360 degrees in about 24 hours, or roughly 4 minutes per degree. India’s broad longitudinal extent therefore creates local-time variation, even though the country follows one standard time for administration. Option A expresses both meanings. Option B is meaningless, option C confuses a natural boundary with a latitude line, and option D makes an unjustified claim about agriculture.
