The correct option is D All of these
The Indian Ocean is the only ocean named after a
country, that is, India. The shape of the ocean is almost
triangular. In the north, it is bound by Asia, in the
west by Africa and the east by Australia. The Indian landmass has a central location
between the East and West Asia. India 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 to India. No other country has a long coastline on
the Indian Ocean as India has and indeed, it is
India’s eminent position in the Indian Ocean,
which justifies the naming of an Ocean after it.
