Which statement about Sasthamkotta Lake is correct?

Correct answer: It is a freshwater lake of Kerala

The direct answer is B: it is a freshwater lake of Kerala. Sasthamkotta is an important freshwater lake in Kerala. “Freshwater” means the water has low salinity, so it is not a salt lake or a sea inlet. To solve the question, remember the lake–state pair: Sasthamkotta → Kerala, and then check whether the option also describes the water correctly. Option A is wrong twice: the lake is not in Rajasthan and it is not a salt lake. Option B is correct because both parts—Kerala and freshwater—match the known fact. Option C is wrong because Sasthamkotta is not a high-altitude lake of Ladakh; its location is in Kerala. Option D is wrong because it is not a Jhelum lake of Kashmir; the statement mixes a different region and river system. Vembanad is another important Kerala lake, but it should not be confused with Sasthamkotta. Memory cue: Sasthamkotta means Kerala’s freshwater lake in this matching question.
