How should Chilika Lake be understood in terms of coastal landform?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lagoon lake of the eastern coast

Chilika Lake is a large brackish-water lagoon on the Odisha coast of eastern India. A lagoon is a shallow water body separated from the sea by a sandbar, barrier, or narrow coastal strip, while remaining connected to the sea through one or more openings. Chilika has this coastal setting beside the Bay of Bengal, so it is an important example of a lagoon landform.

Option A correctly identifies Chilika as a lagoon lake of the eastern coast. It is not a glacial lake of the Western Ghats, a coral island of Lakshadweep, or an estuary of the Arabian Sea. An estuary is a different type of coastal water body where river water meets seawater. Therefore, option A is correct.
