    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    A lagoon is a shallow area of salt or brackish coastal water completely or partially separated from the open sea by some obstacle such as a low sandbank or shingle bank. Chilka lake in Odisha, Ashthamudi lake in Kerala and Pulicat lake in Andhra Pradesh are all lagoons because they are separated from the sea by narrow openings. Periyar lake in Kerala is located away from the sea coast in the hilly area near Kerala's border with Tamil Nadu.
