Gobind Sagar is an example of which type of lake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Artificial reservoir

The direct answer is A, an artificial reservoir. Gobind Sagar is the reservoir formed by the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River. A reservoir is a large storage body of water made or controlled by people, commonly behind a dam. It can support irrigation, drinking-water supply, and hydroelectric power. Option A is correct because the lake is human-made and dam-created. Option B, marine lagoon, is wrong because a lagoon is a shallow water body separated from the sea by a sandbar or barrier, not a dam reservoir. Option C, oxbow lake, is wrong because an oxbow forms from a cut-off river meander. Option D, tectonic lake, is wrong because tectonic lakes form in depressions caused by movements of Earth’s crust. Exam cue: dam-made lake means artificial reservoir.
