• A. Indian people like beaches.
• B. The beaches thrive in the climate of India.
• C. India has a long coastline.
• D. India shares its boundary with several other countries.

Answer 1

The correct option is C India has a long coastline.

India has a 7517km long coastline which is almost half the boundary of the country. This long stretch of land next to the sea is the main reason for a large number of beaches. The fact that these coasts are next to different seas and oceans is one of the reasons for the diversity in these beaches.
