Correct:
A
Explanation
The correct matching of lake types with their examples is as follows:
- Tectonic (I) - Bhimtal Lake (4): Located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, Bhimtal is the largest lake in the district. Geologically, it is considered to be of tectonic origin, formed by the shifting of the Earth's crust and associated faults.
- Crater (II) - Lonar Lake (1): Located in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra, this is a unique geo-heritage monument formed by a hyper-velocity meteorite impact (impact crater) in basaltic rock.
- Glacial (III) - Gangabal Lake (2): Situated at the foot of Mount Harmukh in Jammu and Kashmir, this high-altitude alpine lake is formed by glacial action and fed by glaciers and precipitation.
- Fluvial (IV) - Purbasthali Lake (3): Also known as Chupi Char, this is an oxbow lake in West Bengal formed by the meandering and shifting course of the River Ganges (fluvial action).
Therefore, the correct sequence is 4 - 1 - 2 - 3.
