Which option classifies India's size figures most correctly on the basis of unit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Square kilometre measures area, kilometre measures length, and percent shows a share.

Correct answer: A. The unit tells us what kind of measurement a figure represents. A square kilometre (km²) is a unit of area, so it is used to describe the size of a country’s land surface. A kilometre (km) is a unit of length, so it can describe India’s north–south extent, east–west extent, land boundary, or coastline. A percentage (%) expresses a part in relation to a whole, such as India’s share of the world’s geographical area. Option A correctly matches all three units. Option B is wrong because area is not measured in kilometres; it is measured in square kilometres, and a percentage does not measure coastline length. Option C is wrong because a boundary is a length, not an area, and a rank is an order of position rather than a physical measurement. Option D is wrong because directional extent is measured in kilometres, while a world rank is written as an ordinal number such as seventh, not as a percentage. Memory cue: km² = surface, km = distance, % = share.
