The correct answer is option 2: Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu has the longest coastline among the given states in India. It is located on the southeastern coast of India and is known for its beautiful beaches. The state has a coastline that stretches for about 1,076 kilometers. Beaches like Marina Beach in Chennai and Rameshwaram Beach are popular tourist destinations in Tamil Nadu.

Option 4: West Bengal is not the correct answer either as it has a coastline of about 157 kilometers, which is the shortest among the states listed.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: Tamil Nadu.
