Solution

The correct option is C Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has the same standard time as that of India. This is because the standard meridian of both the countries is same i.e. 82.5° E. Both India and Sri Lanka are 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time. Pakistan, China, and Nepal are not island countries.
