Which lake is counted among the major coastal lagoon lakes of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Chilika

The direct answer is B: Chilika. A coastal lagoon is a shallow water body near the sea, partly separated from the sea by a sandbar, barrier, or spit, while remaining connected to seawater through an opening or channels. Step by step: coastal waves and sediment create a separating barrier; seawater and freshwater may mix; the enclosed shallow water becomes a lagoon ecosystem; fish, birds, and other organisms use it. Chilika Lake is in Odisha on the eastern coast of India and is a famous brackish coastal lagoon. Option B is correct. Option A, Sambhar, is a famous inland saline lake in Rajasthan, not the expected coastal lagoon here. Option C, Wular, is a large freshwater lake in Jammu and Kashmir and is not a coastal lagoon. Option D, Bhimtal, is a freshwater lake in Uttarakhand, also inland. Remember: Chilika means Odisha coast and lagoon.
