The correct option is C Near the Mozambique Channel
Assumption Island is a part of Seychelles and is located in the north of Madagascar, near the Mozambique Channel. Seychelles and India signed a 20-year agreement in January, 2018 that will enable India to construct military infrastructures on Assumption Island. The base will help coastguards to patrol its 1.3 million square kilometres exclusive economic zone for illegal fishing, drug trafficking and piracy.
