Complete answer:
Since the word "cynosure" means someone or something that is the subject or appreciation, such as, "Ruth was the cynosure of all eyes," Choice C is right. The remainder of the choices do not articulate the sense, which is why they are incorrect.

Additional Information:
The most abundant forms of lakes in the global ecosystem are small lakes and ponds. They provide a myriad of ecosystems and social services as well as products and resources, while at the same time being of great conservation benefit (for migratory birds, for example). These shallow systems typically occur in lowland regions, many of which are associated with seasonal changes in river flood regimes.

Geological disturbances, such as glacial movements or other processes that create depressions in the landscape, may also be related to the origin of many of these structures. In addition, after centuries of landscape alteration, many shallow lakes and ponds have been created by humans, such as stream and river impoundment or diversion, or when digging for metals, sand , gravel and peat (particularly common in Europe in Medieval times) or by creating fish ponds.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’
