Lakshadweep Islands are located in the

Correct option is A

The Correct Answer is the Arabian Sea
The Lakshadweep Islands are a group of 36 small islands, coral atolls, and reefs situated in the Arabian Sea, to the southwest of the Indian subcontinent. These islands form India’s smallest Union Territory, both in area and population.
The archipelago is located about 200 to 440 km from the coast of Kerala. The capital of Lakshadweep is Kavaratti.
The islands are geologically formed from coral reefs, unlike the volcanic origin of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Only 10 out of the 36 islands are inhabited.
Information Booster:
· Major inhabited islands: Kavaratti, Agatti, Minicoy, Amini, Kalpeni, and others.
· The name "Lakshadweep" means "a hundred thousand islands" in Sanskrit, though the actual number is 36.
· The administration of Lakshadweep is directly under the central government of India.
· The region is ecologically sensitive and rich in marine biodiversity, making it a key area for coral reef conservation, fisheries, and tourism.
Additional Knowledge:
· Bay of Bengal: Located on the eastern coast of India. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located here, not Lakshadweep.
· Pacific Ocean: The largest ocean in the world, located far to the east of India. No Indian territory lies in the Pacific.
· Indian Ocean: While technically the Arabian Sea is part of the Indian Ocean, the specific and correct location of Lakshadweep is the Arabian Sea.
