What is the main basis for calling Chilika Lake a coastal lagoon?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a water body near the coast separated by a barrier

A coastal lagoon is a shallow body of water lying beside the sea and partly separated from it by a sandbar, barrier beach, spit, or similar coastal feature. It may still have a connection with the sea through openings, so it is different from a completely inland lake. Chilika Lake lies along the coast of Odisha and is separated from the Bay of Bengal by a narrow sandy barrier, which gives it the character of a coastal lagoon.

Option B is therefore correct. The Himalayan location does not describe Chilika, and a lagoon is not restricted to deserts. Chilika was not formed inside a volcanic crater either. The key identifying feature is its coastal position and separation from the open sea by a barrier. The supplied answer and explanation correctly use this geographical basis.
