The correct answer is option 1, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is separated from India by a narrow channel of sea formed by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar. The Palk Strait is a less than 100-kilometer-wide strait between the Tamil Nadu state of India and the Jaffna Peninsula of Sri Lanka. The Gulf of Mannar is a large shallow bay in the Indian Ocean, located between the southeastern coast of India and the western coast of Sri Lanka. These two bodies of water form a natural barrier between the two countries, effectively separating them. Therefore, Sri Lanka is the country that is separated from India by this narrow channel of sea.
