Which neighbouring country of India is landlocked and has no coastline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Bhutan

The direct answer is C, Bhutan. A landlocked country is completely surrounded by land and has no direct coast on an ocean or sea. Bhutan is surrounded by land and lies in the Himalayas between India and China; it has no coastline. Option A, Myanmar, is wrong because Myanmar has a coastline on the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. Option B, Bangladesh, is wrong because it has a southern coastline on the Bay of Bengal, even though much of its boundary is with land. Option C is correct because Bhutan has no sea coast and is therefore landlocked. Option D, Sri Lanka, is wrong because it is an island country surrounded by the Indian Ocean and consequently has a coastline. The key reasoning is not simply to ask whether a country is small or mountainous; ask whether any part of it touches the sea. Bhutan does not touch the sea. A helpful memory cue is: among these choices, Bhutan is the only country enclosed by land, while Myanmar, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka all have coastlines.
