Which option correctly pairs a surface measure and a linear measure in describing India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Area and coastline

The governing concept is the distinction between areal and linear measurements. Area describes the extent of a two-dimensional surface and is expressed in square units, such as square kilometres. Coastline describes the length of the boundary where land meets the sea and is expressed in linear units, such as kilometres. Therefore, option A correctly pairs one surface measure with one linear measure. Longitude and latitude are angular coordinates, not a surface-linear pair; a percentage is a ratio, and a world rank is an ordinal comparison. Standard time is a time convention and the Tropic of Cancer is a latitude line, so option D also does not provide the required measurement pair.
