keywords: 

{'land surface area': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'percent': [5, 1, 3, 14], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 2: 2.4%.

To understand this, we need to know the land surface area of India and the land surface area of the world. According to the data available, the land surface area of India is approximately 3.29 million square kilometers.

Now, to calculate the percentage, we need to divide the land surface area of India by the land surface area of the world and multiply by 100.

The total land surface area of the world is approximately 148.94 million square kilometers.

Calculating:

(3.29 million / 148.94 million) * 100 = 2.20%

This means that India accounts for approximately 2.20% of the world`s land surface area.

Taking into account the options provided, we can see that option 2 (2.4%) is the closest to the calculated percentage. Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.

Alert - correct answer should be 2.20% instead of 2.4%.
