Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1. The question requires arranging the given cities in South-East Asia in the correct sequence from south to north based on their latitudes.
2. Approximate latitudes:
- Jakarta (Indonesia): Around 6° South
- Singapore: Around 1° North
- Bangkok (Thailand): Around 13° North
- Hanoi (Vietnam): Around 21° North
3. Arranging these from south to north based on latitude gives the sequence: Jakarta (3) -> Singapore (4) -> Bangkok (1) -> Hanoi (2).
