Answer 2

Answer:

The southernmost latitude of India is a) 8°4’ North.

Explanation:

• 8°4’ North or 8°4’ N represents the southernmost latitude of India.

• This latitude passes through the southernmost tip or point of the mainland of India where Kanyakumari is situated.  

• Officially the name of the southernmost point of the Republic of India is the 'Indira Point', named after the visit of Indira Gandhi during her tenure as Prime Minister of India. It was previously called Pygmalion point and Parsons point.

• This is located in the eastern Indian ocean at 6°4'N but it is not situated on the Indian mainland.  

Hence the correct option is a) 8°4’ North.
