B) Superior lake
C) Nyasa lake
D) Victoria lake

Answer 1

Hint:
Lakes are an essential part of Earth’s ecosystems, providing an environment for all kinds of flora and fauna to live in. While most of the freshwater lakes are small, some are large enough to compete with seas.

Complete Answer:
The largest of the Great Lakes of North America is Lake Superior. It is the world’s biggest freshwater lake by surface area, and by volume, the third-largest freshwater lake. It is shared by the U.S. state of Minnesota to the west, the Canadian province of Ontario to the north, and Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the south. Lake Superior is the highest in elevation, draining through the St. Mary’s River into Lake Huron, and the farthest north and west of the Great Lakes chain. It consists of 300 different streams and rivers, the largest of them being Ontario’s Nipigon River, and is said to be the cleanest and the clearest of the Great lakes. This lake is also the deepest Great Lake. The beaches of Lake Superior are known for having a large amount of agate. Its surface area is approximately 31,700 square miles and its maximum depth is 1,332 ft.

Thus, option (B) is correct.

Note:
Lake Baikal is a massive lake in the mountainous Russian region of Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. Lake Malawi, also known as Lake Nyasa in Tanzania and Lago Niassa in Mozambique, is the southernmost lake in the East African Rift system and an African Great Lake. Lake Victoria is also one of the African Great Lakes and the explorer John Hanning Speke named it after Queen Victoria.
