Solution

The correct option is D Melting of glaciers
The Great Lakes of North America were formed as a result of melting of glaciers. The retreat of the ice sheet left behind a large amount of meltwater that filled up the basins that the glaciers had carved, thus creating the Great Lakes as we know them today.
