Which option gives a wrong meaning to a fact in India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3214) km is land boundary

Direct answer: D. The statement wrongly calls 3,214 km India's land boundary. In standard school geography, India's north-south extent is about 3,214 km, while its east-west extent is about 2,933 km. The total land boundary is much longer, about 15,200 km, and the coastline is commonly given as 7,516.6 km including islands. The reasoning is therefore: 2.4% is India's approximate share of world area; seventh is India's rank by area; 7,516.6 km is the coastline; but 3,214 km is north-south extent, not land boundary. Option A is correct as a fact, so it is not the requested wrong meaning. Option B is also correct for India's area rank. Option C is correct in the textbook context. Option D is wrong because it gives the wrong meaning to 3,214 km. Memory cue: 3,214 = north to south; 15,200 approximately = land boundary. The supplied answer is consistent.
