Answer: (A), (B), (C)

India's geographical diversity is intertwined with the cultural diversity as different regions in India have different cultures.

India is a culturally diverse country. It is home to a billion people, accommodating incredible cultural diversity between languages, geographic regions, religious traditions, and social stratifications. Indians have a strong sense of pride in the distinctiveness and diversity of their culture.
