What is the basis for linking (7516.6) km with economic geography in India's size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is coastline and relates to maritime trade, fishing and ports

Direct answer: D. The figure 7,516.6 km refers to India's coastline, including the mainland and island territories in the standard textbook figure. A coastline is important in economic geography because it gives access to the sea. From this, we can reason that ports support shipping and international trade, coastal communities support fishing, and coastal locations can support industries, tourism and transport links. Option D is correct because it identifies both the number's meaning and its economic importance. Option A is wrong because north-south extent is about 3,214 km. Option B is wrong because India's world area share is expressed as a percentage, about 2.4%, not kilometres. Option C is wrong because seventh is a rank, not a distance. Option D is the only option that correctly connects the coastline with maritime trade, fishing and ports. Memory cue: kilometres along the sea = coastline; coastline supports sea-based livelihoods and trade. The supplied answer is consistent.
