If a question gives southern maritime neighbour and Lakshadweep clue, what will be the answer?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Maldives

The direct answer is B, Maldives. Lakshadweep is an Indian group of islands in the Arabian Sea, to the south-west of the Indian mainland. The country located farther south of Lakshadweep and recognised as a southern maritime island neighbour of India is Maldives. Option A, Sri Lanka, is also a southern island neighbour, but it lies to the south-east of the Indian mainland, near Tamil Nadu, not directly south of Lakshadweep. Option B is correct because the Lakshadweep clue points toward the Maldives island group in the Indian Ocean. Option C, Bhutan, is a landlocked Himalayan country in the north and cannot be reached by following a southern sea clue. Option D, China, is a northern and north-eastern land neighbour, so it does not match either the southern or island clue. The reasoning is to use the special location clue rather than choosing every island neighbour automatically: Lakshadweep leads south-westward toward Maldives, while the southern tip of mainland India leads toward Sri Lanka. Memory cue: Lakshadweep-Maldives, and mainland south-Tamil Nadu-Sri Lanka.
