Options
Option A
Bay of Bengal
Option B is correct
Arabian Sea
Option C
Indian Ocean
Option D
Andaman Sea
Explanation
India has two main island groups. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal, to the southeast of the mainland. The Lakshadweep Islands, on the other hand, are situated in the Arabian Sea, to the southwest of the mainland. While the Arabian Sea is part of the larger Indian Ocean, 'Arabian Sea' is the more specific and accurate location for Lakshadweep.
