Solution

The correct option is B Lake
A lake is an area filled with water which is surrounded by land from all sides. They are not part of the oceans, therefore are different from lagoons. There are both natural lakes as well as artificial lakes.
Natural lakes are found majorly in mountainous areas, rift zones and artificial lakes are created by man for agricultural purposes or for industrial use etc.
