The correct answer to the question is option 3, Indira Point in Nicobar Islands. Cape Comorin (Kanyakumari) is not the southernmost tip of India, although it is often mistakenly believed to be. It is located at the southernmost point of the Indian mainland, but there are other islands further south. Point Calimere is not the southernmost point either, as it is located on the eastern coast of India. Kovalam in Thiruvananthapuram is also not the southernmost point, as it is a popular beach destination located in the southwestern part of India. Indira Point in the Nicobar Islands, specifically in the Great Nicobar Island, is the true southernmost tip of India. It is located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which are a group of islands in the Bay of Bengal.
