Which neighbour can be called both a southern maritime neighbour and an island country?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sri Lanka

The direct answer is B, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is an island country situated south of the Indian mainland in the Indian Ocean. Because it is separated from India by sea, it is called a southern maritime neighbour as well as an island neighbour. Option A, Pakistan, is a western land neighbour of India, not a southern island country. Option B is correct because Sri Lanka is south of India and is entirely surrounded by water. Option C, Nepal, is a northern Himalayan landlocked neighbour and has no coastline, so it cannot be the southern maritime island neighbour. Option D, China, is mainly a northern and north-eastern land neighbour and is not an island country. The sea passage between the southern tip of India and northern Sri Lanka is commonly associated with the Palk Strait, an important map clue. The correct reasoning is to combine both clues: southern maritime location plus island country. When both clues appear together, choose Sri Lanka rather than a land neighbour or the other island neighbour.
