This was painful to watch - Lavina agonized over almost every question and dragged out the debate.

I wonder if the APs came out during the break and gave Lavina a talking-to. She seemed to get better, more confident after it.

I don't think there are any Disney parks in India or Indonesia, so B and C are right out. Japan is an island nation but not that many.

When they're talking about tiny islands that make up the vicinity of a single city, I suppose it might be Japan. However, which place is more likely to have a Victoria Harbour, an always-independent nation or a former British colony?
