The correct answer is

Gujarat

In the context of geographical facts related to the Indian subcontinent, Gujarat is the state with the longest coastline. This results from its extensive length along the Arabian Sea.

Gujarat's coastline stretches approximately 1,600 kilometers, making it the largest in India. Key factors contributing to this considerable length include the state's geographical location on the western coast and its diverse coastal areas comprising several peninsulas like Saurashtra and significant gulf areas such as the Gulf of Khambhat and the Gulf of Kutch.
