Hint: A continent is a large landmass on the earth; it is big enough to have an abundance and variety of resources. This continent is in close proximity to indian ocean.

Complete answer:
There are a total of 7 continents- North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. In order to figure out our answer, we’ll take the help of some variables like geography, neighboring countries, etc.
Option A This is the wrong answer. The second largest continent in the world is africa. Located near the second largest Ocean in the world- the Atlantic Ocean..
Option B, it is the correct answer. It is the largest continent in the world and is a home to two largest countries in the world- Russia and China. It is the only continent which shares closest proximity with the Indian Ocean. India lies in this continent in the South-Asian region.
Option C, this is an incorrect answer. Europe lies closest to the Atlantic Ocean and it isn’t the largest continent in the world. The region lies far away from the Indian Ocean.
Option D This is again the wrong choice. Antarctica is an uninhabitable land. There is no vegetation or other resources that could support a normal life. Also, it is covered with ice entirely. Thus, India certainly doesn’t lie in this continent.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Note: India, is a home to many cultures and traditions.it habitats 6 major religions of the world.
 It shares boundaries with countries like China, Nepal, etc
 India is the only country in the entire world after whom an entire ocean has been named.
