Complete solution:
 India has a central location in the Indian Ocean and is the only country after which an ocean is named. The Indian Ocean holds substantial geopolitical, geo-strategic, economic and commercial importance for India. The 'territorial sea boundary or territorial extension ocean' has a range of 12 nautical miles (nautical miles) from its baseline. The 'baseline' is actually a straight line joining the crooked - rammed coast. Sea water located between the terrestrial part and the baseline is called 'Internal Water'.

The distance of the 'contiguous zone' is 24 nautical miles (1 nautical mile - 1.8 mi) further from the baseline. In this area, India has the financial right to cleanliness and recovery of customs duties. The country's 'Exclusive Economic Zone' is 200 nautical miles from the baseline, in which India received scientific research and construction of new islands and exploitation of natural resources.

There are 29 states and 7 union territories in the country of India. Our immediate neighbours are Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Nepal and Bhutan are the buffer states between India and China. Sri Lanka is also a neighbouring country of India, separated from the mainland of India by the Palk Strait in the Indian Ocean. The 'Adam Bridge' is situated between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. 'Pamban Island' is part of the Adam Bridge. Rameshwaram is situated on the island of Pamban, the Gulf of Pak is situated to the north of the Adam Bridge and the Gulf of Mannar to the south.

Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Note:
India is a great country. The civilization and culture here is as old as human origin. Based on the vastness of India, it has been called a subcontinent. Its ancient name was Aryavarta. It was named Bharatvarsha after the name of King Bharata. The Vedic Aryans lived in the Indus Valley. The people of Persia (Adhik Iran) first entered India from the Indus Valley. They used to pronounce 'S' as 'H' and they called the Indus river as Hindu river, on this basis, this country was named Hindustan. These people also used the revenge form of Sindhu for the residents of Hindu here. According to Jain mythology, the term Jambudweep for India has been used in Hindu and Buddhist texts. The word India used for India has its origin in the Greek language Indos. The Greeks called Indus as Indus and this country as India. James Alexander in his description addressed the country as Indu by removing the H (H) of Hindu. Later it was converted to India. Article 1 of the Constitution of India clarifies the words India, that is, India will be a union of states (India, that is Bharat shall be a union of states).
