Palk strait separates India from which country?

Correct option is B

•  The Palk Strait separates the southern part of India from Sri Lanka. It is located between the Tamil Nadu state of India and the Jaffna District of Sri Lanka, and it connects the Bay of Bengal to the Gulf of Mannar. The strait is approximately 40-85 kilometers wide, and it has historical significance as a major waterway in the region.

• The Palk Strait is named after Robert Palk, a British Governor of Madras, who helped in establishing a direct shipping route between India and Sri Lanka.
• The strait is notable for the Adam's Bridge (also known as Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu), a chain of natural limestone shoals that is located between the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar.
• The strait has been an important maritime route for centuries, and it also has geopolitical significance due to its proximity to both India and Sri Lanka.
• The water in the Palk Strait is relatively shallow, making navigation difficult, which is why modern shipping routes typically avoid the strait.
  

• Pakistan is located to the northwest of India, and the Indo-Pakistani border is separated by the Wagah border, not the Palk Strait.
• Maldives and Mauritius are island nations in the Indian Ocean but are located farther from India compared to Sri Lanka.
