What is a lake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A still water body surrounded by land

A lake is an inland body of standing or relatively still water surrounded wholly or partly by land. It may form through natural processes such as tectonic movement, glacial action, volcanic activity, or river deposition, though the question only asks for its basic meaning. Option A gives that definition and is therefore correct. A lake is different from a river because river water generally flows along a channel, while a lake stores water in a depression or basin.

The other choices describe unrelated features. A strong sea wave is a moving part of the sea, not an inland water body. A high mountain peak is a landform, and desert sand is loose sediment rather than water. The words “surrounded by land” are the key clue. Although lakes can have inflows and outflows, their defining school-level feature is a body of water collected in a land basin. Hence option A follows directly.
