Which fact proves that India is a country of the Northern Hemisphere?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It lies north of the Equator

The direct answer is A: India lies north of the Equator. The Equator is the imaginary line at 0° latitude that divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. India extends roughly from 8°4'N to 37°6'N, so all of mainland India is north of the Equator. Option A is correct because location north of the Equator directly proves membership in the Northern Hemisphere. Option B, west of the Prime Meridian, describes longitude and the Eastern or Western Hemisphere, not the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. Option C is false: India is not on the Tropic of Capricorn; it is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer. Option D is false and irrelevant because India is far from Antarctica. Memory cue: Equator decides north or south; Prime Meridian decides east or west.
