Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Kanniyakumari, at the tip of Tamil Nadu, is where the mainland ends.

  2. Indira Point is the southernmost point of Indian territory, but it lies on Great Nicobar Island.

  3. Because the question asks about the mainland, Indira Point is ruled out.

Worth noting

The word “mainland” is doing all the work here. Without it the answer would be Indira Point.
