Form 1116 interview : Country of residence

What should I choose for the following in the FTC (form 1116) interview?

I moved out of the US in April 2021 for India and lived there for the rest of the year (Apr -Dec, 2021)

However, for federal tax purposes, I'm a resident alien.

So, I'm a bit confused about what should be entered in this box. Should it be India or USA?

For federal income tax purposes, record US as the country of your residence, since you do qualify as a resident alien.
