The correct answer is

Bangladesh 

New Moore Island, also known as South Talpatti, was a small, uninhabited island in the Bay of Bengal. It emerged in the aftermath of the 1970 Bhola cyclone and was disputed between India and Bangladesh. However, the island submerged due to rising sea levels in 2010. Since it was located near the Sundarbans delta, it was geographically closest to Bangladesh.

Other options:

Myanmar: Located farther southeast across the Bay of Bengal.

Pakistan: Located to the west of India and far from the Bay of Bengal.

Sri Lanka: Located south of India, in the Indian Ocean.
