B Correct answer
Explanation

The USA covers approximately 8.5 million square kilometers, while India covers about 3.3 million square kilometers. The ratio is roughly 2.5:1, meaning India's area is approximately one-third (about 33-40%) that of the United States. One-half would be too large, and one-fourth or one-fifth would be too small.
