What common error occurs when maritime and landlocked neighbours of India are reversed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Treating Maldives as landlocked and Bhutan as maritime

Direct answer: Option A. The error is reversing the categories: Maldives is a maritime island country, while Bhutan is a landlocked Himalayan country. A landlocked country has no coastline; a maritime neighbour is connected across the sea. Therefore calling Maldives landlocked and Bhutan maritime reverses both classifications. B is not an error because Nepal is landlocked. C is not an error because Sri Lanka is an island and maritime neighbour. D is not an error because Bangladesh is an eastern land neighbour of India. The safe method is to ask whether the country has a coast and whether India's connection is by land or sea. Memory cue: Maldives means islands and sea; Bhutan means Himalaya and land.
