The correct answer is Option (2) → Indian embassy located in Japan
-
Indian embassy located in Japan: Embassies, consulates, and military establishments of a country located abroad are considered a part of the domestic territory of their home country, regardless of their physical location.
-
Russian embassy located in India: Foreign embassies in India are considered a part of the domestic territory of their own country (Russia, in this case), and are not part of India's domestic territory.
-
A cargo ship operated by a French parked in Vishakhapatnam: Ships and aircraft are part of the domestic territory of the country whose residents operate them. Since this ship is operated by a French resident, it is part of France's domestic territory, even when parked in an Indian port. For it to be part of India's domestic territory, it must be owned and operated by a resident of India.
-
An army base operated by the USA in India: Similar to foreign embassies, military establishments of a foreign country located within India's political boundaries are not a part of India's domestic territory; they are considered a part of the domestic territory of the country that operates them (the USA).
