The phumdis of Loktak Lake are an example of what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Floating islands of vegetation and organic matter

The direct answer is C: floating islands of vegetation and organic matter. Phumdis are special floating formations of Loktak Lake in Manipur. They contain living and decaying plants, roots, soil, and other organic material woven into a mass that floats on water. Some phumdis are large enough to look like islands and can support plants, animals, and human activity. Option A, a desert oasis, is wrong because an oasis is a fertile water spot in a desert, while a phumdi is a floating lake formation. Option B, volcanic ash, is wrong because phumdis are biological and organic, not material produced by an eruption. Option C is correct because it describes both their floating nature and their vegetation-based composition. Option D, a permanent ice sheet, is wrong because phumdis are not frozen water and Loktak is not permanently covered with ice. The word “organic” points to plant and decomposed biological material. Memory cue: phumdi means a floating organic island of Loktak.
