In which option related to India's size does changing the context make the answer wrong?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Calling 7516.6 km a land boundary instead of total coastline

The governing concept is contextual accuracy: a geographical number is meaningful only when its unit and subject are identified correctly. About 7,516.6 km is commonly given as India's total coastline, including the mainland and island groups; it is not the length of India's land boundary. Thus option A changes the context and becomes wrong. Option B correctly identifies 3.28 million square kilometres as India's approximate area. Option C correctly identifies 82°30'E as India's Standard Meridian, and option D correctly describes India's approximate share of the world's geographical area. The trap is not the number itself but its incorrect classification.
