What is the high land separating two drainage basins called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Water divide

A water divide is a ridge, upland, or other elevated land that separates two drainage basins. Rain falling on one side of the divide flows through streams and rivers toward one basin, while water falling on the other side flows toward another basin. It is therefore a natural boundary between river systems, even though it may not look like a sharp line on the ground.

A delta forms where a river deposits sediment near its mouth. The mouth is the place where a river ends by entering a lake, sea, or another river. A lagoon is a shallow coastal water body partly separated from the sea. These meanings do not describe high land between basins. Hence, option C, water divide, is correct.
