Solution
The correct option is A India
The seventh-largest country in the world areawise is India.
India's boundaries have changed quite a few times over the past century, and even still, India claims the northern region of Kashmir (an area disputed with Pakistan) which India claims belongs to Indian completely.
China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal each share a border with India, and its geography ranges from the majestic Himalayan Mountains to the tropical shores of the southern peninsula. Geologically, India is found on its own subcontinent, and geological studies show that this whole nation and its close neighbors were at one time separated from Asia by a sea.
