Why is Gobind Sagar Lake considered an artificial reservoir rather than a natural lake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is a reservoir lake linked with Bhakra Nangal Dam

The direct answer is D. Gobind Sagar is the reservoir formed in connection with the Bhakra-Nangal Dam, so it is artificial rather than a naturally formed lake. The reasoning is: a dam is built across a river; the dam holds back river water; the stored water spreads into a reservoir; this reservoir is called Gobind Sagar. Option D is correct. Option A is wrong because a sea lagoon is a coastal water body separated partly from the sea, not the origin of Gobind Sagar. Option B describes an oxbow lake formed when a river meander is cut off, which is not this case. Option C describes a lake formed in a meteorite impact crater, also unrelated here. A reservoir may look like a lake, but its main origin is human construction and water storage. Exam cue: Bhakra-Nangal Dam points to Gobind Sagar.
