The latitude range (14\u00b053’15” N to 15\u00b048’00” N) closely matches the latitudinal extent of Goa.<\/section>\n
Goa lies approximately between 14\u00b053′ N and 15\u00b048′ N latitude and 73\u00b040′ E and 74\u00b020′ E longitude. The provided latitude range is almost an exact match for Goa’s northern and southern boundaries. While the provided longitude range (74\u00b020’13” E to 74\u00b040’33” E) seems to cover the eastern part of Goa and extend further east, the distinct latitude range makes Goa the most probable answer among the given options. Puducherry, Chandigarh, and Delhi are located significantly outside this latitude range.<\/section>\n
