Which important latitudinal line passes through the nearly middle part of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Tropic of Cancer

The direct answer is D: the Tropic of Cancer. Latitude lines run east–west and indicate distance north or south of the Equator. The Tropic of Cancer is located at about 23°30′N and crosses the nearly middle part of India. It is geographically important because it divides India into broad northern and southern climatic zones and helps explain differences in heating and seasons. The reasoning is: the question asks for an important latitude through central India, the line at 23.5°N is the Tropic of Cancer, so D is correct. Option A, the Tropic of Capricorn, lies at about 23.5°S in the Southern Hemisphere. Option B, the Equator, is 0° and does not cross India’s mainland. Option C, the Arctic Circle, lies around 66.5°N, far north of India. Do not confuse Cancer with Capricorn: Cancer is north, Capricorn is south.
