C Correct answer
Explanation

India has a single time zone (IST, UTC+5:30), but due to its east-west extent, the sun rises about 2 hours earlier in the east than in the west. Tirap in Arunachal Pradesh is in the far east, while Kandla in Gujarat is in the west. If sun rises at 5:00 AM in Tirap, it would rise around 7:00 AM in Kandla - approximately 2 hours later due to the longitude difference of about 20-25 degrees between these locations.
