Havelock Island of the Andaman group was renamed in 2018 as:

The correct answer is A, Little Andaman and Car Nicobar. The Ten Degree Channel runs along the tenth parallel of north latitude and is the dividing line between the Andaman group and the Nicobar group; Little Andaman is the southernmost island of the Andaman group and Car Nicobar the northernmost of the Nicobar group, so the channel lies between them. Option B is wrong because North Andaman and Middle Andaman are not divided by a named channel at all; together with South Andaman they form the single landmass called Great Andaman. Option C is wrong because the water between Great Nicobar and Sumatra is the Great Channel, also called the Six Degree Channel, which is India's maritime boundary with Indonesia. Option D is wrong because Minicoy is separated from the Maldives by the Eight Degree Channel, and from the rest of Lakshadweep by the Nine Degree Channel.

The correct answer is B, Indira Point. Indira Point stands at the southern end of Great Nicobar in the Nicobar group and is the southernmost point of the territory of India; it was known earlier as Pygmalion Point and as Parson Point. Option A is wrong because Kanyakumari is only the southernmost point of the Indian mainland, not of Indian territory, and students lose the mark by confusing the two phrasings. Option C is wrong because Minicoy is the southernmost island of Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea, which lies well to the north of Indira Point. Option D is wrong because Point Calimere, or Kodikkarai, is a headland on the Tamil Nadu coast in the Palk Strait area, known for its bird sanctuary, and is nowhere near the southern limit of Indian territory.

The correct answer is B, Barren Island. Barren Island lies in the Andaman Sea to the east of Middle Andaman and carries the only active volcano in India and in South Asia; it has erupted several times in recent decades. Option A is wrong because Narcondam Island, also volcanic and also east of Great Andaman, carries a dormant volcano, and is remembered instead as the only home of the Narcondam hornbill. Option C is wrong because North Sentinel Island is known for the Sentinelese, an uncontacted tribal community, and has no volcano. Option D is wrong because Baratang, between Middle and South Andaman, has mud volcanoes and limestone caves; a mud volcano is a vent of gas and slurry and is not a volcano in the igneous sense, which makes it a favourite distractor.

The correct answer is C, North Andaman. Saddle Peak rises to about 732 metres in North Andaman and is the highest point of the whole union territory; a national park of the same name surrounds it. Option A is wrong because the highest point of Great Nicobar, and of the Nicobar group, is Mount Thullier at about 642 metres, which is a common pairing in matching questions. Option B is wrong because South Andaman carries Port Blair and Mount Harriet, now called Mount Manipur, which is much lower than Saddle Peak. Option D is wrong because Little Andaman, lying south of the Duncan Passage, is low and flat compared with the northern islands. Remember the pair Saddle Peak with North Andaman and Mount Thullier with Great Nicobar.

The correct answer is C, only II. Statement II is correct: the Lakshadweep Islands are atolls, each a ring of coral enclosing a lagoon, raised on a submarine ridge in the Arabian Sea, and they are the only coral island group of India. Statement I is wrong because the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are of tectonic origin; they are the exposed crests of a submerged fold mountain chain that continues the Arakan Yoma of Myanmar towards Sumatra, which is why they are hilly and why volcanic islands occur among them. Option A is wrong because it accepts the false claim about the Andamans. Option B is wrong for the same reason, since statement I cannot be true. Option D is wrong because statement II is a settled fact of Indian physical geography.
