Correct option is A
India and Sri Lanka are geographically separated by the Palk Strait, a narrow body of water between the Tamil Nadu coast and the Jaffna Peninsula of Sri Lanka. The Palk Strait connects the Bay of Bengal in the northeast with the Gulf of Mannar in the southwest. The Indian Ocean surrounds both countries but does not specifically demarcate the boundary between the two. Lakshadweep is a group of islands in the Arabian Sea and does not play any role in the division between India and Sri Lanka. The Arabian Sea lies to the west of India and is also irrelevant to this separation.
