C Correct answer
Explanation

Although India is surrounded by water on three sides (Arabian Sea west, Bay of Bengal east, Indian Ocean south), all these are arms of the Indian Ocean. Only ONE ocean - the Indian Ocean - directly touches the Indian mainland. The Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal are NOT separate oceans but part of the Indian Ocean.
