b. Southern
c. Western
d. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
Indira Point is a village in the Nicobar district of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is the southernmost tip of India's territory. It was drowned by the tsunami that struck on 26 January 2004. It was the first place to drown in a tsunami.

Complete solution:
 Previously Indira Point was called Pygmalion point and Parsons point.
Rando Island, the northernmost island in the Sabang district of Ika Province in Sumatra, Indonesia, is located 163 km south of Little Andaman Island and 145 km or 80 nautical miles from Indira point. India and Indonesia are upgrading the deep seaport Sabang as part of strategic military and economic cooperation to protect the channel between Great Nicobar Island and Rondo Island which Indira Point is 812 km or 330 nautical miles.

The village was named Indira Point after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This point was formerly known as Pygmalion Point and Parsons Point. It was renamed in the mid-1980s in honour of Indira Gandhi. When Indira Gandhi visited the local lighthouse on 19 February 1984, it was announced by the local Member of Parliament. The official naming ceremony took place on 10 February 1985.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
Port Blair is connected to mainland India via air service. From Port Blair, Campbell Bay can be reached by Pawan Hans helicopter service. An Inter-Island boat is also available from Port Blair, which usually goes by way of Little Andaman, Car Nicobar and Nanowire in Campbell Bay. MV Campbell Bay also operates once a week from Port Blair to Campbell Bay. The government is also constructing a 21-km road from Shastri Nagar to Indira Point via a bridge over the Galatia River. The total length of the road from Zero Point to Indira Point would be 56 km and would be completed within the next few years. This area is protected by the Indian Coast Guard. Galathea National Park and Lighthouse are the major attractions here.
