Correct answer: D
Answer: India is north of the Equator (Northern Hemisphere).
Key facts:
Mainland India lies roughly between 8°4' N and 37°6' N; including some island territories extends the southern limit to about 6° N.
The Equator is at 0° latitude; locations with 'N' (north) are located north of the Equator.
Therefore, all parts of India are north of the Equator, placing India in the Northern Hemisphere.
