The correct answer is B) 12 nautical miles. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which India has ratified, the territorial sea of a coastal state extends up to a limit not exceeding 12 nautical miles measured from baselines determined in accordance with the Convention.
The standard width of the territorial sea as defined by international law is 12 nautical miles from the coastal baseline.
Beyond the territorial sea is the contiguous zone (up to 24 nautical miles from the baseline) and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) which extends up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline, where the coastal state has sovereign rights over resources.
