What does India's east-west extent mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Distance between eastern and western ends

The governing concept is directional extent, which describes the spatial distance between opposite extreme points. India’s east-west extent is the distance from its easternmost point to its westernmost point, measured across the country in an east-west direction. Thus, option A is correct. It represents a horizontal breadth-like dimension and helps explain variations in local time, climate, transport distance, and regional interaction, although those effects are not themselves the definition. Option B refers neither to east-west distance nor to a standard measure of extent. Option C measures the boundary of the coast, which is a different geographical quantity and may be irregular. Option D concerns population, not spatial measurement.
