Answer:
Option (d) Assertion (A) is wrong but Reason (R) is correct.
Explanation:
- India is a vast country and is one of the ancient civilisations in the world. India is the 7th largest country in the world.
- India possesses a land boundary of about 15,200 km and the total length of the coastline of the mainland, including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep, is 7,516.6 km.
- Hence, the Assertion statement is completely wrong.
- The Indian expanse of landmass has a focal area in East and West Asia. This country is a southward extension of the Asian continent.
- The trans-Indian Ocean routes, which connect the countries of Europe in the West and the countries of East Asia, provide a strategic central location for India.
- The Deccan Peninsula distends into the Indian Ocean, accordingly assisting India with laying out close contact with West Asia, Africa and Europe from the western coast and with Southeast and East Asia.
- No other country has such a long coastline (Shore) on the Indian Ocean as India has and without any doubt, it is India’s prominent position in the Indian Ocean.
- Hence, the given reason statement (R) is true and correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is (d) A is wrong but R is correct.
