Govind Sagar – Artificial Lake
  • Created in 1976 by the construction of the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh.
Chilka Lake – Natural Lake
  • It is the largest coastal lagoon in India, located in Odisha. It is formed by the silting action of the Mahanadi River.
Naini Lake – Natural Lake
  • Located in Nainital, Uttarakhand, it is a natural freshwater lake surrounded by hills.
Bhimtal Lake – Artificial Lake
  • Though natural in origin, it has been modified and developed by human efforts, especially during British times, so it's sometimes considered semi-artificial.
Therefore:
  • Chilka and Naini Lake are not artificial.
  • The correct option is: (A) 2 and 3 only.
