Which major water body lies to the west of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Arabian Sea

Correct answer: B, the Arabian Sea. To identify surrounding water bodies, first imagine India on a map with north at the top. The western coast of India faces the Arabian Sea, while the eastern coast faces the Bay of Bengal. The Indian Ocean lies to the south of India and connects these larger regional waters. The Red Sea is far to the west, between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and it does not directly lie along India's western coast. Therefore option B is the precise answer. Option A is wrong because the Bay of Bengal is east of India. Option C is less precise in this question: the Indian Ocean is the larger ocean south of India, whereas the named water body along the western coast is the Arabian Sea. Option D is wrong because the Red Sea is not India's western coastal water body. Memory cue: west coast—Arabian Sea; east coast—Bay of Bengal; south—Indian Ocean.
