If 23°30′N is called a longitude in India's location, which correction is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer

The notation 23°30′N contains N, which means north of the Equator, so it describes a latitude rather than a longitude. In the geography of India, approximately 23°30′N is identified with the Tropic of Cancer. This important parallel crosses India and is used when studying the country’s location, climate, and the division between tropical and subtropical conditions.

Therefore, option C is correct: it is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer. The Indian Standard Meridian is 82°30′E, so option A is not suitable. The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude, and the Arabian Sea is a water body, not a latitude line. The direction marker and the known value together provide the correction.
